Ben Lerner is one of the coolest poets in the world. He helped me out with a huge favor that I was embarrassed to ask. This is the second time he has come through for me, and he hardly knows me. The bay will weep when he leaves us for Pittsburgh, a town whose name no one ever pronounces the way it's supposed to be, like Berkeley, but not as warm or floral. I do hope that he is able to fit another bay reading in before takes off for colder climes.

Today I finished Vocoder, Judith Goldman. I know it's kind of old by now, but I dig it so much that I wanted to tell you so that, if you haven't read it, you can go out and procure a copy of your own. Judith Goldman was at Pegasus last night, but I hadn't finished her book yet, so I didn't want to say anything to her; a little weird, no? I'm a weirdo, I guess.
