Noah, the DU Bookstore's Stockroom Supervisor and an aspiring poet, is currently reading a biography of Robert Duncan, a poet who lived in San Francisco during the 1960s and who was very involved with both the counterculture movement and the literary scene there during that period. Noah tells me that his father attended seminary school in Berkeley from 1966 to 1969, and along with his mother, was also very involved in the political movements of that era. In fact, Noah's mother told him just yesterday that it might be a good idea if he took off work Wednesday, October 3rd - the day of the first Presidential debate here at the University of Denver. She told him he might need to bail her out of jail if her group, the Raging Grannies of Denver, wind up getting arrested. It seems to me that Noah doesn't need to read Robert Duncan's biography to learn about the 1960s. He just needs to hang out more with his parents.
