Dear Barbara,
Mary and I went to hear Philip Levine read his poetry at Beyond Baroque last Friday evening and it was of course an evening of two poets reading, the other being Naomi Replansky, who I didn't know. She was very good. And Philip Levine was superb, much funnier than I'd supposed. The house was full, and they were also reading the next night in a tribute to Thomas McGrath, another poet. It was engrossing and fun. I became trapped in my coat which was trapped in my chair, and with Mary's help was able to free myself mostly inconspicuously. This morning I saw Ms. Replansky at the Ocean Park Farmer's Market, and thanked her for her reading.
