A project launched in conjunction with the start of the Obama administration by me and Rachel Zucker:
Starting Today: poems for the first 100 days.
But perhaps poetry links are too obvious? Here’s other stuff I’m interested in:
HOMEBIRTH (one of my consuming passions)
- Pushed Birth
- Citizens for Midwifery
- Ina May Gaskin, one of the foremothers of the American homebirth renaissance
- my beloved friends and midwives at Morningstar Midwifery in Maine
LOCAL/ORGANIC/VEGETARIAN FOOD
- The cool Community-Supported Agriculture (CSA) program we belong to: Angelic Organics
- Our favorite, ashram-run veggie restaurant in Chicago: Victory’s Banner
- Our favorite, local farm-run, elegant veggie restaurant in Belfast, Maine: Chase’s Daily
- Our favorite rooftop, lesbian-run veggie restaurant in Provincetown, MA now apparently moved to Greenfield, MA (we haven’t been there yet): Tofu A Go Go
SUBCULTURES AND COUNTERCULTURES
- The Burdock Gathering
- The Beehive Collective (send them resources!)
AND, OK, IF YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW ABOUT POETS I LOVE, HERE ARE JUST A FEW (I love too many to link to all of them now, but if you want to link to me, friends, you know where to find me):
- My partner in crime Rachel Zucker. Do whatever she tells you to do!
- Jean Valentine, the poet I most want to be when I grow up
- The brilliant Heather McHugh
