This series is named after WordSpace’s co-founder, Robert Trammell, (1939-2006). It is fitting continuity to the historic collaborative relationship that existed between the Kessler’s Artistic Director Jeffrey Liles and Robert Trammell, as well as Edwin Cabiniss’s independent visionary spirit. Please read the recent Dallas Morning News article by PEN/Hemingway Award winner, Ben Fountain:“Dallas poet Robert Trammell marched to his own meter” for a historic perspective of WordSpace and this rare individual, poet and visionary. complete with some of our favorite of Robert’s poems.
