Frances LeFevre was a fixture in the downtown New York poetry culture at a seminal time. Her insatiable hunger for the arts had her on a constant circuit of galleries, happenings, theater and always, poetry. When Frances enrolled in Bill Berkson’s poetry class at the New School, she promised to keep her daughter, Anne Waldman, posted on the readings, writings, and discussions. Her letters became a kind of correspondence course, transmitting the energy of the classroom, while also keeping Anne updated on the comings and goings of Frances’s classmates, friends, family, and neighbors. Through these intimate letters, Frances muses on philosophy, narrates cultural events, parses out advice and writing critiques, and engages in inevitable mother-daughter drama.
