In InDigest 1207 we ask readers to, along with their own work, bring in some pieces by other writers who have influenced them and read those as well. There were some requests after the reading last night for us to post those read by Ada, Sam, and Jess. So, here you are:
Ada read "One Art" Elizabeth Bishop from her collection, Complete Poems 1927-1979 and "Faint Music" by Robert Hass from, Sun Under Wood.
Sam read from William Stafford's book Kansas Poems. Poems: "North of Liberal," "At Breaks Near the River," and "Key of C--An Interlude For Marvin."
Jess read "Centaur" by Srikanth Reddy from his book Facts for Visitors, "In the Clear Long After" by Olena Kalytiak Davis from her book Shattered Sonnets, Love Cards and Other Off and Back Handed Importunities, "Boot Theory" by Richard Siken from his book Crush and "Wind in a Box" by Terrance Hayes from his book Wind in a Box.
Thanks again everyone. Hope to see you all at the next 1207 on Wed. Feb. 4 when we will proudly be welcoming Meakin Armstrong and Erica Wright.
Lastly, a special thanks to LPR for offering a gorgeous space for this series...And amazing drink specials for all in attendance!
Watch for pictures from last night coming soon.
