Dana Gioia For San Francisco Poet Laureate

May 04, 2005

The City of San Francisco is seeking a new Poet Laureate. I hereby nominate the estimable poet, Dana Gioia. Of course, he happens to be Chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts, right now. On the upside, he is a native Californian with deep Bay Area roots, and he knows the value of a buck.

Alternatively, there is Thomas Newton. Or maybe Matt Gonzalez can find time.

Well, of course that's the first rational thought. But then, what's rationality got to do with it? ......"Gimme an 'F.'" And so forth.

I'm thinking Daphne Gotley.
