By Michael Silverblatt • • 30m ListenJoe: A Memoir of Joe Brainard (Coffee House) 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.
