The Bowery and other poems
Linda Lerner
March Street Press
Greensboro, NC
(c)2004
I don't claim to have met many of the poets whose books I write about here but I did meet Linda Lerner when I was the events coordinator at a famous Philadelphia bookstore a year or two before this book was published.
She did a good reading as I recall but what I most remember about her visit was her overheated entrance, she has been walking much further than she thought she would be, and she was a bit the worse for wear.
She name-drops a time or two in this collection, but so did I by dropping hers. It's a good read.
