I'd missed the initial go round of Beagle's essay yesterday but reading it now, phew, something else. I did a quick check and this article from a couple of years back mentions a quick encounter with Beagle at a convention, where he talked to the author about her briefly and had the photo he carried with him. Thankfully there is a photo of both him and the photo as well. https://www.ocregister.com/2023/03/24/the-book-pages-meeting-last-unicorn-author-peter-s-beagle-among-the-paperbacks/
