Poets partying
(Bohemian Tea Party, Woodberry Poetry Room)
Christina Davis gives a speech about the poetry room's activities + I am caught close-eyed catching up with poet Fanny Howe + selfie with poet and Woodberry fellow Rosa Alcalá for our mutual friends.
Poets grieving
(Memorial for Ukrainian writer and poet Victoria Amelina)
A moving night of readings, remembrances, and reflections on war and the Ukrainian literary community. Also ran into Fanny again (3 times in 5 days--I forgot how much I missed seeing Fanny at all things poetry & film related in Boston/Cambridge).
Ukrainian poet Iryna Shuvalova's reading and speech was utterly devastating.
Poets reading and translating
(Kim Hyesoon reading with translator Don Mee Choi, introduced by poet and translator Jack Jung)
Was deviously thrilled to get this pic of Jack that also captured Don Mee snapping Jack's photo. Don Mee read her English translations of Kim Hyesoon's poems.
The queen herself, Kim Hyesoon!
I've been a Kim Hyesoon and Don Mee Choi fan for over a decade, so this reading was a real treat for me. Could not pass up the opportunity to buy this gorgeous signed broadside, which tickles my bird-woman fancy!

I like how Christina went against people's earlier assertions that Sonny shouldn't be reported to the police for almost beating an innocent man to death for a second time because "think of his family" and that women become mentally weak when they become pregnant.
That was such a whiplash to have Michael and Joss go from talking about Sonny almost killing Dex to Michael going "Are you and Dex in a relationship again?"

Was informed by a good friend that ECCC in Seattle added to their lineup.
Since Misha has the photos with Sebastian Stan and Stan Lee, it would be hilarious if he got a pic with Evans to go with the set. They can also talk about their "roles" in Winter Soldier🤣🤣🤣
And if Misha decides he wants to be part of this Maid Cafe event, I would not be mad. Preferably in a maid outfit.
So happy for all those who are going! I'm very jealous and hope y'all have the best time!

I really hope that the show is not going to be anti-surrogacy+egg donor by endorsing a bioessentialist belief about motherhood, because that's exactly what anti-choice people do. It's one thing for a woman to give up a baby as a consequence/punishment of unmarital sex, but it goes against bioessentialism to decide to do it before a pregnancy and actually go through with it.
