Welcome to the Zoo

Diana Hamilton reads from The Zoo, Soft Snap (+0ther Salutations), and other works. She talks with me about words hanging out together, Wikipedia, anthropomorphism, and Dick Cheney.

For those in New York, Diana will be reading at the Poetry Project this Monday the 19th, at 8pm, along with another ceptuetics guest, sara wintz.
