My mom is in the back! It’s Woody Guthrie’s centennial this year.
How adorable is Alan Cumming! And such a nice guy. He stayed to help for our entire Live Auction and helped us raise a lot of money for our programs. He said of Bailey House in Women’s Wear Daily, “I love organizations that just do very basic things like [Bailey House], which gives people a roof over their head…There’s not so much bureaucracy and nebulousness; it’s really very basic, very primal and very crucial.”

Adrienne Rich, 1929-2012: 21 Love Poems, II
II
I wake up in your bed. I know I have been dreaming.
Much earlier, the alarm broke us from each other,
you’ve been at your desk for hours. I know what I dreamed:
our friend the poet comes into my room
where I’ve been writing for days,
drafts, carbons, poems are scattered everywhere,
and I want to show her one poem
which is the poem of my life. But I hesitate,
and wake. You’ve kissed my hair
to wake me. I dreamed you were a poem,
I say, a poem I wanted to show someone…
and I laugh and fall dreaming again
of the desire to show you to everyone I love,
to move openly together
in the pull of gravity, which is not simple,
which carries the feathered grass a long way down the upbreathing air.
