Dear Brett,
(Professor Brett Millier of Middlebury College in Vermont
http://www.middlebury.edu/academics/enam/faculty/node/41101),


Thanks so much for your inspiring presentation and reading of Adrienne Rich's poetry at Stanford on May 23rd - "Adrienne Rich: A Celebration of Her Poems" ... https://events.stanford.edu/events/833/83335/ - and very nice to talk with you afterwards. I greatly appreciate your observation that Adrienne Rich's poetry is an "unique lyric voice," and a voice that “demands belief.” I first read Rich's amazing "Diving into the Wreck: Poems 1971-1972" (1973) at Reed College as a student in the early 1980s. And thank you for asking to see 2 or 3 of my poems, after your moving and erudite presentations. Exciting to learn that you write poetry too, and it could be potentially interesting to explore publishing a collection of these in the Poetry Press at World University and School. Would you be open to sharing 2 or 3 poems of yours with me? 

All 3 of my books are Harbin Hot Springs-informed, and inspired too, and my first large "Naked Harbin Ethnography:          
   
Hippies, Warm Pools, Counterculture, Clothing-Optionality & Virtual Harbin" also has a few poems in it, but it is an actual-virtual ethnography (~ http://tinyurl.com/p62rpcg ~ https://twitter.com/HarbinBook ~ http://bit.ly/HarbinBook ~). 


I'm sharing with you 3 poems from my most recent book of poetry, "Winding Road Rainbow: Harbin, Wandering & the Poetry of Loving Bliss" - 

Winding Road … and something like poetry came to me / 12

The Poetry Commune at Berkeley / 93
Do you know of any poetry which focuses explicitly on the generation of loving bliss neurophysiology, by any chance? :)


Both of my poetry books, if you click through the initial pages, were also published in the Poetry Press at World University & School -

And am planning to publish my 3rd book of poetry this autumn as well. Please let me know if you might be interested in publishing in the Poetry Press at World Univ & Sch, Brett. 

It was very nice to hear, meet and talk with you. Thank you.

Best regards, Scott
