“I opened the book and found that to read Joe Brainard is to befriend him. The Collected Writings is like a manual for how to live more creatively...’”
—The Zen of Joe Brainard: On The Collected Writings by John Lingan
I took a taxi down to Soho
To the loft, and then a gallery to hear Joe Brainard read from I Remember,
Back to John’s and out to dinner—as though I’d never been away,
Though it was all too clear I had.
–John Koethe, Poetry, July/August 2009
