denner and bromige

David Bromige—a poet, a friend, and emeritus English professor at Sonoma State University—and Richard Donner are giving a reading at Moe’s Bookstore in Berkeley on July 23rd. I took two wonderful and intense poetry classes from David back in the early ’80s. Amongst other things, he introduced me to OULIPO (and here) and L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E (both the poetry and the magazine).

[Addendum: I was just googling ’round the web, looking for some of David’s poetry, when I came across a nice site with a bunch of recordings of him reading. I found this one representative.]
