Wow, that's wonderful. She's great.
Here's more about her and Ahkmantova. And here's a wonderful song and performance not involving Ahkmantova.

"Fact: As sad as it may sound, art exhibitions, dance recitals, cellists, and jazz have little to do with a poetry conference dedicated to form and narrative" ( Sam Gwynn, 10/21/2014).

Give it up, Anna. Every time you butt into one of Sam's threads for no other reason than to spit at West Chester, you don't do yourself or your own conference - or the poetry community - any good. Sam is, quite wisely, ignoring you and focusing on his own Conference. I suggest you do the same.

I for one am glad the art songs are not making a resurgence. Nor Natalie Merchant. I've been a fan of Iris DeMent for many, many years and am looking forward to hearing her.
