Tell Me About It by Anne Waldman
I picked up a copy of “Tell Me About It: Poems for Painters” by Anne Waldman at the library. Since I’m interested in ekphrasis (art in response to art), it was interesting to read her interpretations and imagine a new visual for her poetry.
John King Books
This time I visited the John King Books store in Ferndale. I got the complete poetry of Carl Sandburg, “The Summer Book” by Tove Jansson, “Howl” by Allen Ginsberg, and “Lunch Poems” by Frank O’Hara. If you’re in the market for writers’ letters, journals, diaries, and biographies, definitely visit the Ferndale location.
