vivastory I saw her at St Mark's Poetry Project in 2000. I was visiting my aunt in Rhode Island & I noticed that she was going to be giving a reading the day my return flight was scheduled. I rescheduled for a few days later, took a bus from Providence to NY for my first trip to NY. In less than 24 hrs I went to Strand, MoMa, St Mark's Poetry Project & Bookstore. Pure magic. Will never forget it. 4y
Leftcoastzen @vivastory that sounds like a perfect New York experience! 4y
vivastory It really was incredible. I haven't read her in years, but I remember at the time being mildly obsessed with her collection Loba 4y
