The Bowery and other poems by Linda Lerner (2004)

 

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.
