Sharing Favorite Readings at the Sunset Branch of the SF Public Library

Realized that this was the day to share readings and headed out without changing my clothes from the Y--except for the pants.  Really worth it!  Robert.crabill@sfpl.org  Librarian read Communicating Vessels.  A woman read "In Praise of Incompetence" by Lauren Slater from Sun Magazine. (Think I might submit!)  Barbara Stoops read from Elspeth Huxley's On the Edge.  I spoke about the JoMama Book Club and Less but read from "Her Right Foot," the Dave Eggers story about the Statue of Liberty.   I thought it was so touching that I gave it to Barbara to keep reading when I couldn't, and then she gave it to another woman when she (Barbara) was choking up.   An Episcopal minister (retired) read from "The Devil and Daniel Webster."  Another man read the Afro-German poet May Ayim's poem 4 mos. before her death.  Another woman read "Miss Me But Let Me Go, " a poem she thinks of in terms of her husband, who died a year and a half ago.   The Episcopal minister also read from the "Shape of the Liturgy."  The librarian and leader of our group, Robert Crabill, read from Brewster Adams' Pay Dirt.
