Poetry
Continues You've heard of the Shakespeare Lady, who dominates New Haven Register headlines, has documented her life on film, and often misquotes. But it's unlikely that you've ever met this new haven legend. Prior to recent years, Derrick had a rather noticeable tumor on his head, which may have caused some degree of psychelogical trauma.

as well as Jimmy, but whose real name is Derrick, this man is often seen
