Cynthia Toronto was an amazing friend, as well as a multi-talented, caring, and cultured person. She would set the stage on fire with her performance poetry. It was an honor to have her feature for my Brownstone Poets Reading Series.
I moved to Bensonhurst in June 2014 and Cynthia would have loved to have seen my new place. But due to her health and packing for her move to California, it was impossible for her to visit. She would have loved my new digs more than my former residence in Flushing, Queens.
Cynthia was the kind of friend who didn’t mind traveling the extra distance to visit me in Flushing. She was so kind to join me at Flushing Manor Nursing Home to say hello to my Mom.
I miss Cynthia and appreciate the time I’ve spent with her. Friendship is a gift—its value will never tarnish with time.
I hope you can join us for this beautiful tribute for this awesome spitfire and multi-talented redhead:

Hello Poets and Friends,
We had an exciting day of poetry and a beautiful memorial for Bob Hart. A true celebration for the written and spoken word in Brooklyn Heights. It didn’t rain on “our parade” on Saturday, October 24, 2015. Instead, it showered words and friendship amongst peers and lovers of poetry. In spite of some cancellations, we had a full house in the back room of the Park Plaza Restaurant.
I want to thank William D. Hart and his wife, Daphne Hawkins (the family of Bob Hart), and Bruce Weber and Joanne Pagano Weber for participating in this moving memorial.
A shoutout to following Brownstone Poets 2015 Anthology contributors for sharing their words:
