In memory of in memory of my feelings

Hey, New York School fans! Tony Hoagland got you down? Saying, "Fug"? Got the "everyday barf"s? Well, according to the San Fransisco Gate, Bill Berkson will give a reading celebrating the work of Frank O'Hara and Edwin Denby at Moe's Books this Wednesday, which is sure to clear away those Hoagie blues! Forget that guy!

According to the store website, Berkson will read and comment upon selections from O'Hara's and Denby's poetry and prose, including one of O'Hara's longer poems, "In Memory of My Feelings," along with a selection of Denby's sonnets and passages from Denby's dance criticism and two essays on the painter William de Kooning.

Hot diggity!

Chicagoans eager for a little Berkson of their own should come by the Poetry Foundation on September 22, when he'll read with Andre Codrescu, Ken Mikolowski, and Emily Warn in celebration of the Alternative Press.
