Happy Birthday Richard
Today would have been Richard’s 77th birthday. We miss you & your voice.
How will you remember him today? You can read some of the samples we have on the site or check out these videos:
List to his daughter Ianthe, read One Afternoon in 1939
or listen to Richard read All Watched over by Machines of Loving Grace
Personally, I think I’ll be reading a few chapters of In Watermelon Sugar before bedtime. 🙂
random videos
I ran across a YouTube account tonite – gregasterisk– who had a couple videos of Richard.
Watch ‘Richard in a Hammock’
and ‘NowsReal’
black watermelon days
freaky video of richard ‘reading’ from in watermelon sugar
The Garlic Meat Lady
Here’s another video from @BoundToBeRead to celebrate their national poetry month. Writer/blogger Mickey Dubrow (writer & blogger) reads “The Garlic Meat Lady”. I love his commentary at the end too – anyone who mixes food & sex & fun is ok in my book too!

Revenge of the Lawn on Swedish Radio
Revenge of the Lawn has been translated (by our list’s own Jonas Ellerström) and published by BakhÃ¥ll of Lund.
I think this link will take you to the page where you can buy the translated version of Revenge of the Lawn (at least I hope so!)
This week, Swedish Radio has a program on Richard as part of their ‘Biblioteket‘ (The Library) show.
You can listen:
- -Monday May 4 at 1403 hrs (streaming on the website or 92.4 MHz onthe FM band)
- -Tuesday May 5 at 1815 hrs (streaming or FM)
- -podcast (which i think is added after the show ends)
(time zone info: stockholm is UTC/GMT +2 hrs. if you are in NYC, that’s 6 hrs ahead so 1403 is 803a. if you’re in London, that’s one hour ahead of you so your 13:03 instead of 14:03. if you’re in SF, it’s 9 hrs ahead so 1403 is 503a. if you’re in Melbourne AU, . it’s 8 hrs behind so 1403 is 2203. i recommend checking time&date to confirm!)
The programme consists of interviews with Swedish readers, writers, critics and translators. (thanks to Jonas for this info!)
