Susan Davis wrote one of the best books of recent years. That's what Poetry Quarterly says (see their review of I Was Building Up to Something on page 97), and there's no reason to doubt their judgment. So if you'd like to hear an American master in person, come to Tebot Bach's reading tonight at Golden West College, Community Room 102, where Susan will share the bill with poet Tina Yang. I haven't heard Yang before, but according to her bio, she's the daughter of a Buddhist nun and works as a docent at Frank Lloyd Wright's Hollyhock House, which ought to provide fascinating subject matter for poetry.
The reading starts at 8 p.m. and there's an open reading, as always. Hope to see you there!
