Alice Notley in Ann Arbor!
Wednesday, November 2, 7:00 PM — I spent an entire day gathering Mid-Michigan poetry information and fifteen minutes after it starts I discover this (the long howl of irony is just me in the background):
Alice Notley & Ken Mikolowski reading from The Collected Poems of Ted Berrigan.
Please join us at Shaman Drum Bookshop for a special evening of poetry by the late Ted Berrigan. Alice Notley, Berrigan's wife and poet Ken Mikolowski will be reading from a new collection of his work.
This landmark collection brings Ted Berrigan's published and unpublished poetry together in a single authoritative volume for the first time. Edited by the poet Alice Notley, Berrigan's second wife, and their two sons, "The Collected Poems Of Ted Berrigan" demonstrates the remarkable range, power, and importance of Berrigan's work.
