MEIR Z. RIBALOW

Remembering Meir Ribalow and one of his poems, my favorite poem 'Sanctuary' .

I was in Meir's English class at The Lawrenceville School in the early '70s-- shortly after his graduation from Princeton. In youth his wit, humor, and keen intelligence were an inspiration for me, and something of an antidote to the staidness of the boarding school environment. I'm happy to learn of his distinguished career and lasting influence.

Meir
was my teacher in script analysis and playwriting in 1998 as part of the Esper Studio. He was kind and funny and brought such an insightful wit to his instruction. After his classes, I felt as if a veil was lifted on the creative process. I never looked at the performance and production of plays the same. I am grateful to have known him, even briefly, and to be a part of his rich legacy. What a gift of love he left the world. My love to his family- Cal Gladen

It's almost a year that my sister Rochel, a dear friend of Meir, had joined him in a better place.

Remembering Meir Ribalow and Bryony O Donohoe (UK) another friend who both passed away on the 23rd of August . I still love to read "Sanctuary"one of the many poems Meir wrote. Feeling a sense of loss and sadness.

Very talented.

I remember visiting my friend Sam and her friend Meir many years ago in New York, I appreciated his great sense of humour and often read his poem "Sanctuary" .

Today I miss you Meir.
