FLYING AT FORTY – Poem by Erica Jong
You call me courageous, I who grew up gnawing on books, as some kids gnaw on bubble gum, who married disastrously not once but three times, yet have a lovely daughter, I would not undo for all the dope in California. Fear was my element, fear my contagion. I swam in it, till I became immune. The plane takes off, and I laugh aloud. Call me courageous. I am still alive.
ITS RAINING IN LOVE – Poem by Richard Brautigan
A PROMISE TO CALIFORNIA – Poem by Walt Whitman
A Promise to California, Also to the great Pastoral Plains, and for Oregon. Sojourning east a while longer, soon I travel toward you, to remain, to teach robust American love. For I know very well that I and robust love belong among you, inland, and along the Western Sea. For These States tend inland, and toward the Western Sea, and I will also.
