This was filmed in 2010 by me John Rhodes at the Berkeley Poetry Festival. This was a very impromptu location as it was on a very busy Telegraph Avenue street corner in Berkeley. I was just testing a new mic with my Canon GL2 Camera and even when the motorcycles went by you could barely hear them.

This is poet and friend Lucille Lang Day. Below is a bio from her web site, 2015

Writer Lucille Lang Day was born in Oakland, California, and grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Her memoir, Married at Fourteen: A True Story, received a 2013 PEN Oakland – Josephine Miles Literary Award and was a finalist for the 2013 Northern California Book Award in Creative Nonfiction.
