Monday, Sunday, A Different Light
Feb. 11th, 2005 12:18 pmWAMC 90.3 FM is airing an edited version of the piece I wrote for my parents' 50th anniversary on Monday morning between 10:20 and 10:50 eastern time. I'm going to have to miss it, but if you're local or in the range of this Albany station, you can tune in and hear it, if you like, or, if you've got a high speed connection and are interested, you can listen to it then at the station's website.
It won't be archived, so can only be heard on Monday morning at this time. My parents are very lovely -- I hope that this isn't making them nervous.
I'm off to New York City to read at the Millay Colony benefit in Brooklyn this Sunday. I'm excited about it. I got in touch with Alice Sebold, who I met there in 1991, and she brought up embarrassing stories that I had forgotten (and am not repeating). I've matured, I swear! She also said to remind folks of the importance to writers of places like Millay that don't demand instant product, because, for example, when we were at Millay she was working tremendously hard on a novel that hasn't been published.
From reading my friendslist, I've realized that I might get to see Christo's gates up in Central Park, which are especially interesting to me because my brother, Don, is a landscape painter who has been painting land art sites, and he's helped me see a little bit about how much emotion, history, information and specific human identities are visible in landscape -- and then, there's the whole question of ego and public spectacle, public pleasure -- anyway, I'm interested. And to see friends.
And one more reading has been added to my West Coast trip: A Different Light, San Francisco, Thursday, March 17 at 7pm.
