I've been reading the poet Charles Bernstein's blog since this summer, after coming across him on my avant-garde literature course, and I recommend it for anyone into contemporary poetry and other arts. He's been regularly promoting a new book called Girldrive co-written by Emma Bee Bernstein and Nona Willis Aronowitz, in which 2 women in their early 20s travel across the USA interviewing other women about feminism. Aronowitz's mother Ellen Willis was an academic, journalist, and writer. Last December, Emma Bee Bernstein, Charles's daughter, was working on an internship at the Peggy Guggenheim gallery in Venice when she killed herself. Here's a story about them.
