“Linda in College,” by Charles Luden

Today’s poem won’t be tempted by a single man.

“Linda in College” is in Charles Luden’s book, West of Venus: punk love poems plus others. It’s out of print, but you’ll often find something of Mr. Luden’s on the shelves of the Sioux Falls Zandbroz Variety.  Look closely–it’s probably a very small pamphlet tucked between Anne Morrow Lindbergh and Osip Mandelstam.

Charles might happen to be there, too.  Buy him a cup of coffee and ask him to take you to whatever open mic is on that night.
