One of my very favorite poets, Julia Kasdorf
, is coming to Clarion University as part of The Clarion University Art Gallery and the Spoken Art Reading Series joint event "Articulating Spaces: Poets and Artists Interacting with their Environment." I saw her read my senior year at the College of Wooster and we presented together at a conference at Penn State DuBois. I wrote her a long letter after the conference telling her how much I loved and was inspired by her work and asking if she had any advice for a young poet. I never heard back... Anyhow, judge for yourself at Clarion's gallery Thursday, Oct. 19 at 5 p.m.?love will be at Clarion University when it hosts the first ever Hip-Hop Symposium Oct. 18, in the Gemmell Student Complex Multi-Purpose Room.

The eclectic crowd --my boyfriend Saroyan admitted he was distracted by the rainbow-propeller beanie worn by one attendee -- dove into the crudites and gluten-free cookies on the snack table. I couldn't help but wonder how Kerouac would feel about the eighteen-dollar "Beat berets" for sale, but with regular admission at the low cost of five dollars per person, a museum's got to survive somehow.
