Rumsfeld Flees France, Fearing Arrest

from Alternet:

Former U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld fled France today fearing arrest over charges of "ordering and authorizing" torture of detainees at both the American-run Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq and the U.S. military's detainment facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, unconfirmed reports coming from Paris suggest.

A googlenews search turns up only 20 stories, very few U.S., no major media:

The day before was Terry Winch. & a few days before that, Alice Notley. Huh.

Will Alexander

As you may have heard, poet Will Alexander is quite ill with cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy. He's spent his life largely off the poetry grid, taking on odd jobs, and has no financial support or, needless to say, health insurance.

The San Francisco organization Poets in Need is coordinating efforts to raise money for him (and other writers in trouble). You can make a (tax-deductible) contribution to them and send it to:

For those around New York, there will be a benefit reading for Will at the Bowery Poetry Club, Thursday November 1, 6-8 pm.

To write vital poems, Notley has said, “it’s necessary to maintain a state of disobedience against ... everything.” To read such poems requires a similar discipline.

Celebrating John Ashbery

Folger Shakespeare Library
201 E. Capitol St. SE

Celebrating John Ashbery

John Ashbery's work bends and breaks contemporary structure in search of the reality that exists behind truth, the realities that inform the nature of all things. Folger Poetry celebrates Ashbery's long history in poetry with readings of his work by poets Ann Lauterbach, Ron Padgett, James Tate, and Dara Weir, ending with a reading by Ashbery himself. Co-sponsored with The Poetry Society of America.

Readings include a moderated conversation, light-fare reception, and book sale and signing. Call 202.544.7077 for more information. Tickets are $12.00.
