RE: Julia Vinograd, the REAL Poet Laureate of Berkeley, at Moe's BooksI didn't see this post up here. Julia and her sister Debbie (a very talented artist, by the way) came with me to my reading in San Francisco last night. I was featured at the Sacred Grounds coffee shop in the Haight Ashbury district. They have been doing weekly poetry nights for over 20 years - a very eclectic venue populated largely by old hippies. Everybody loved my reading! It was especially gratifying to hear that coming from Julia whose work I have read and admired some 40 years now - Yes I have a collection of her books that goes back that far! If you every get a chance to hear her read don't miss it! |
A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.
Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
