from New and Selected Poems by David Lehman
Victoria's post mentions that the event was also a launch party for POEM IN YOUR POCKET: 200 Poems to Read and Carry, with an introduction by Kay Ryan.
It's worth noting that the 200 poems were selected by Elaine Bleakney. It's a wonderful mix. And it's really a kick to tear
a poem out of a book before reading it...
Yours in the common pursuit,
Jennifer
