“Waiting” by John Burroughs. ORIGINAL TEXT AND AUDIO - 2017 It was on this day 50 years ago, one of the first big rock festivals, the Monterey International Pop Music Festival, was held at the Monterey County Fairgrounds in California. About 90 thousand people paid between $3 and $6.50 to see The Jimi Hendrix Experience, The Who, The Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, and Otis Redding. The Woodstock festival was held two years later in 1969.
I once was struggling with my own verse and I noticed a guidebook by Joyce Carole Oates. It seemed like kismet. I bought the book on some divine motivation. Writing for a lot of us is a talent worth hiding like words of a shadow. I never claimed that I was prolific or at least capable of greatness. I tend to read in private. Sometimes the idea surfaces like a slow wave building. I learn a lot from the masters of their craft.
Does anyone know the poem that talks about old fashioned women's names like Mildred and Mabel and then lists a series of them? I would really like to find it for a friend whose mother, Mildred, has died. I think I heard it once on Prairie Home Companion, also on NPR. Thank you.
