In Paris—Charles Bane, Jr., Reading

[dropcap]C[/dropcap]harles Bane, Jr., publishes occasional fiction, but his writing life is devoted to poetry and its advocacy. His first book of poetry came to the notice of Past U.S. Poet Laureate Donald Hall, who corresponded with him for a year. These letters were donated to The Paris Review and University of Michigan. He is married to a beautiful, third-generation Southern cook, and they have one son who is a gifted painter. In this video, we hear him reading “In Paris,” accompanied with an illustration by Isabelle Pruneau.
