I went to the Capital Book Festival. I spent most of my time at the panels. The highlight was Ethelbert's interview. I didn't particularly care for the interviewer... not sure who she was but nonetheless I didn't feel like she quite fit the bill.
I was in a particularly introverted mood so I bought a few books which include the following:
CHE: A Revolutionary Life
Jon Lee Anderson
** I just got done reading Death of a Revolutionary: Che Guevaras Last Mission by Richard Harris
The Collected Poems of Audre Lorde ( about 300 poems... thank God I was breezing through her other books. I highly recommed Sister Outsider & Undersong)
The Listening:
Kyle Dargan
He has a new book: A bouquet of Hungers
Black Power: The Politics of Liberation
Kwame Ture and Charles V. Hamilton
Other Books I have collected over the last few weeks:
Where are the Love Poems for Dictators
Whispers, Secrets and Promises
Ethelbert Miller
For Colored Girls who have considered Suicide/ When the Rainbow is Enuf
A Choreopoem by Ntozake Shange
Impossible Flying:
Kwame Dawes
****
I was also able to unpack most of my books
I busted out a few oldies that I love
The Seagull
Anton Chekhov
translated by Tom Stoppard
Oh yeah,
The Maverick Room
Thomas Sayers Ellis
* I went to his reading at University of Maryland last week.
