...summer of 1988, he says, "I fell in love with [the Pulitzer-Prize winning poet] Rita Dove." He read and re-read her collection titled Thomas and Beulah, and then began to listen to his family's stories in a way he hadn't before, with a historic and poetic ear. "I realized I could write about my family, that it was a valid thing to write about," he says. It was then he began writing the material which he would later develop and expand into his thesis. By the time I met Kevin in September, 1988 at a Padan...
Kevin views his poetic reponsibilities as a poet as educative. At Harvard, he has read with the Nightpeople, the Quarterly, and Adams House. He also once read to a crowd of 1200 people in Memorial Hall at the 1990 Cultural Rhythms Festival. And while he was in San Fransisco, he read at two local cafes.

At each game, I hear a new complaint: "Jody Reed sucks!" "Mike Greenwell's an overpaid bum!" "Find me a relief pitcher...
...MOST CITIES, people go to baseball games to see power, not precision. It wasn't exciting to watch shortstop Cal Ripken, Jr. earn a record .996 fielding percentage with only three errors in 1990. Nope. Not exciting. But watching Ripken and the Orioles play all season can be downright poetic. Scoff, cite statistics about "better" teams until you're blue in the face. You're probably right. Baltimore's record in recent years has been dismal...
