New "Private Life"— Richard Hell reading from "Godlike"
Hot-cold-cool-hot-cold-warm—beautiful, beautiful air. I’m loving the weather yo-yo of early spring in New York City, with it’s manic erotic edges, as people on the street start shedding clothes and acting free...and we’re just getting the first taste of the season…
There’s some of that Manhattan wildness in the new episode of Private Life — following our conversation last week, Richard Hell is reading from his quintessentially NYC poet-fantasia Godlike (2005) just re-released by NYRB.
I hope you enjoy it. Get some flowers. Read poems. Go dancing.
