Joe: A Memoir of Joe Brainard (Coffee House)
Joe is Ron Padgett's intimate and affectionate biography-memoir of his friend of four decades, artist-poet Joe Brainard. It's a very plainspoken book about a man whose work is lush, funny, crowded, dazzling, disarming, and beautiful at a time when beauty was a suspect quality.
Note: This interview will not air on KCRW as it will be pre-empted by special holiday programming. It will, however, be available online.
