When I heard David Yezzi read his poem “Eloise at Yaddo” at The West Chester University Poetry Conference in June 2006, I was struck by the poem’s clever humor. I thought it would make for a wonderful encore song and David graciously granted me permission to set it to music. This song is dedicated to the co-founders of The West Chester University Poetry Conference: my two close friends — Michael Peich and Dana Gioia. The end vocal phrase is a tribute to another beloved childhood character, as Eloise spells out her name, a la “M-I-C-K-E-Y Mouse”.
You can hear the premiere recording on my Within These Spaces CD on Spotify.
