Poetry Reading

Friend and compatriot Kyran Pittman writes:

My friend and compatriot Dr. Stephanie McKenzie will be in town this weekend reading selections from her book of poems,  Cutting my Mother's Hair, which Salmon Press is bringing out this summer. Stephanie will be at Mediums Gallery on Friday, following her reading at the St. Louis Museum of Contempary Art on Thursday. Please come out and hear her (and bring friends). Wine sip at 8:30--I'm told the reading won't start until 10.

Cutting My Mother's Hair is described as "a loose re-telling/rendering of Dante's Inferno" on the St Louis Museum of Contempoary Art's calendar of events.

Which reminds me . . .

The Dante's Inferno Test has sent me to the First Level of Hell - Limbo!
Here is how I matched up against all the levels:

LevelScore
Purgatory (Repenting Believers)Very Low
Level 1 - Limbo (Virtuous Non-Believers)High
Level 2 (Lustful)High
Level 3 (Gluttonous)High
Level 4 (Prodigal and Avaricious)Very Low
Level 5 (Wrathful and Gloomy)Very Low
Level 6 - The City of Dis (Heretics)Low
Level 7 (Violent)Moderate
Level 8- the Malebolge (Fraudulent, Malicious, Panderers)Low
Level 9 - Cocytus (Treacherous)Low

Take the Dante's Divine Comedy Inferno Test
