Lekakis and I lived on W. 47th St. NYC 10001.  His studio was at 51, mine was at 47.  His residence was on West 29th St. near 7th Ave.  I greatly admired his monumental sculptures, and he liked my paintings.  Although he was Greek,spoke and wrote fluent Greek, he was born on 28th St, went to school on 28th St, had a house on 29th St & a studio on 28th St. 

His poetry was published in Athens.  He taught Ezra Pound about Greek poetry.  He and I collaborated on a 'rewrite' of a poem by William Carlos Williams about one of my paintings.  WCW's poem was published in Pictures from Breughel, which won him the Pulitzer posthumously. Our rewrite was never published.
