Autobiographical

My full-length book, Where We Think It Should Go, can be yours via Octopus Books, Small Press Distribution, or Amazon. We better celebrate these hard copies while we can. When I'm not writing poetry, I teach amazing young people who are blind. I believe in a healthier future.

Poems of leaving and staring at The Poetry Project: 5 Poems by Claire Becker

Friday, October 2, 2009

Place I've never been to for a reading:
Mrs. Dalloway's Literary & Garden Arts
It doesn't say they carry poetry on their website, but maybe that falls into the category of "renowned local authors."
Poetry reading by Joshua Beckman and Graham Foust
2904 College Ave.
Berkeley, CA
Thursday, October 22, 7:30 p.m.
Is this real?

The wonderful people at Octopus Books are going to put out my first book. Look out in fall 2010 for the book, probably called Where We Think It Should Go. It's raining in Oakland. It's practically winter. It's practically the end of the decade. Welcome new decade! Love you already.

Part of a poem for my sister. Happy birthday LCB!!

Wasn't it done then undone, by
us and to us, enveloped, sid-
erated in a starship, listing
with liquids, helpless letters–
what else–pouring from that box,
little gaps, rattles and slants

Like mountains, pretty much worn down

-Michael Palmer, from "Letters to Zanzotto"
