Hayan Charara and Bill Zavatsky will present a joint reading at the Carnegie Library Lecture Hall in Oakland, Pittsburgh, Pa., at 8 p.m., March 5, 2008.
Wednesday I talked with Charleston poet Crystal Good, just in from New York City. Second year in a row, she had attended an Association of Writers & Writing Programs Conference. Among the extraordinary writers there was Haitian-born Edwidge Danticat, author of many books including “Brother, I’m Dying.”
Danticat wrote the foreward to Tram Nguyen’s book, “We Are All Suspects Now: Untold Stories from Immigrant Communities after 9/11.”
On stage in the big city at The Nuyorican Poets Cafe, Good read her new work about West Virginia’s hometown hero/New England Patriots star Randy Moss, the town of Rand, W.Va., and quantum physics. One poem she read was her “Rand Poem.”
