I met Adrienne Rich, today. She gave a reading last night at the Doheny Special Collections room and today she held a Q&A/Conversation with about 20 people in the Ide Room at USC. She's quite remarkable. I liked hearing what she had to say about poetry, the writing life, and the public and private spheres.
"Dr. Who", which I discovered quite recently and quite by chance, is a fantastic show. I've been watching it recently and thinking about the science part of science fiction, as vague research for my current project. I've only seen the recent ones, made after 2000, because that's what's available on Netflix.
Tomorrow, I'll be attending a poetry reading by Brenda Hillman at Doheny Library. I'm rather looking forward to this and will have more to say about, surely.
Sunday, I'll be reading poems alongside some really amazing poets who I haven't yet had the opportunity to meet but whose works I enjoy. I'm looking forward to it. The reading will be in conjunction with The Poetics Research Bureau and is a Benefit for the Palestinian Children's fund which raises money for medical treatment for those children in the region who cannot afford it.
