Thank you for this. I didn't know Alice had passed away. I took a poetry workshop with her at the British Institute in Paris in the spring of 2000, and it was one of the best classes I've ever taken. She was kind enough to publish work by all the students in the class, along with poems by her friends, in one of the issues of the poetry journal Pharos. I didn't for many years understand the honor of that. Hearing her read this poem brings me to tears. She was somehow a force and down to earth. What a loss.
I love lasky. And the little I know of you. I do not know Alice though. Now I must find her.
I am from ny. I always say I was born in Calcutta but grew up in ny.
But after twenty years in the city I’ve now moved to Paris. For practical purposes but it feels like I’m following some rights of a writer. Paris was the first stop for a writer in another century. Now the last. Well Europe —the last
