Arthur Magazine has an interview with Virginia Aste – Richard Brautigan’s first wife.

Married in 1957, separated in ’62 and divorced in ’70, she looks back at their time together.

Now working as a substitute teacher in Hawaii, this interview gives a little insight into Richard & his writing, what it was like in the 1960s in San Francisco as well as her relationship with Richard.

On Dec 4th, the students of will host a tribute to Richard.

They will read poems or passages and members of the audience are invited to as well. An interactive performance will be projected on a building to envoke a vision of a ‘pretty poetry tower’.

Here’s to hoping it makes its way to the net but if you’re in Washington state, you might want to check it out (and report back to us!)

there are some amazing pix on flickr representing ‘revenge of the lawn‘ by Camera Wences – all done in lego. they rock!!

do folks who give brautigan books as gifts have a habit of writing notes on the title pages? my guess is yes.

from my collection, my favourite note says:

For Fred
from your old lady
