Nikki Giovanni

"Don't read your early poetry.  Because you'll contradict yourself.  And if you don't contradict yourself, you haven't learned anything."

Listen to this interview with the 75-year-old poet on the podcast, Death Sex and Money.  It's delightful:

I listened to this podcast yesterday driving to La Grange to meet Beverly for lunch at the wonderful and cozy Bistro 108.

Beverly and I have been friends since we were in our twenties, now we are closing in on Nikki's age. We, like Nikki, are loving this age and all its freedoms!

I came home with a list of books and movies to see, including Twentieth Century Women, starring Annette Bening--which I watched last night.  It's on Amazon and I recommend it for women who remember the 1950s and to those who don't.
