  2. He's San Francisco's pugilistic poet, for better or verse

    August Kleinzahler gets into fights at poetry readings.
    Los Angeles Times Staff Writer
    August Kleinzahler gets into fights at poetry readings. Once, in Ireland, he traded insults with a host he found verbose. At a reading in a New York bar, he told a noisy drunk to shut his trap. Fists flew after the guy made a crack about Kleinzahler's...

  3. Barking mad

    KERRY MADDEN is the author of "Louisiana's Song."
    IT'S 1 A.M., AND THE DOGS next door are barking again. Actually, it's 1:15 a.m. on the alarm clock, 1:11 a.m. on the VCR clock and 7:27 p.m. on the white-noise-machine clock, which never says the right time because I unplug it and carry it from room to...

  5. Rae Armantrout's probing new collection

    The only time I met the poet Rae Armantrout, a few years ago, I escorted her from her hotel to the lecture hall at the University of Chicago where she was to read. We chatted, and she mentioned that she had a new book coming out. I asked her what it was called. “‘Money Shot,'” said this smallish, birdlike woman in her early 60s. The incongruity of hearing such a phrase issue from such a mouth (Google it if you don't know what it means; this is a family paper) strikes me now as an apt metaphor for Armantrout's career and work.

  8. Poetry's Rock Stars Light Up Sunken Garden

    When hundreds of people showed up for a outdoor poetry reading in Farmington in 1992, causing a traffic jam, "it dawned on us," said an organizer, "this was going to be a yearly thing." That was an understatement.

  10. Cheating Margarito deserves beatdown from Miguel Cotto

    Let's dispense with the cordial pat on the gloves before the bell, and let the fists fly from the get-go.
    Let's dispense with the cordial pat on the gloves before the bell, and let the fists fly from the get-go. Antonio Margarito doesn't deserve anybody's respect. He doesn't even deserve to be in the ring. He is boxing's dirty laundry, soiled and stained....
