Helen Vendler was the most important "adult" (ie generation above me) in my life besides my literal parents. Intellectually & personally. I'll try to say more when I can. Please go read what she had to say about teaching and about the poets she loved. Words Chosen Out of Desire.
Couldn’t make it to The Persephone Festival, but want to hear @internetstine and my session “Working Women in ‘The Home-Maker’” where we talk about domestic feminism, archives, and do dramatic readings? Listen here for free for one month only! https://t.co/rTIOB3Lt7H
Last night @internetstine & I held the final meeting of our @BeaconHillBook literary roundtable of @PersephoneBooks on working women. We discussed labor rights, motherhood, department stores, and read fabulous paragraphs out loud. Some generous participants even did the voices.
