Overview
A young, aspiring writer comes in the late 1970s to St. Clement's Church on West 46th Street in New York City looking for a job in the theater. Soon she was helping run the church's poetry program. The New York Poetry Festival at St. Clement's features many well-known poets of the time as well as up-and-coming and marginalized poets. Poems by some of the participants are recommended by the author.Into The Fire: A Poet's Journey takes place in the rough-and-tumble Hell's Kitchen community on Manhattan's West Side, a neighborhood that reflects the passion of the times. By 1980, both the arts scene and New York neighborhoods are on the verge of change. The author's life in the arts weaves in and out of the neighborhood's narratives. And she must make a choice between two possible lives. Cameo appearances in this memoir are made by Robert Altman, Amiri Baraka, Daniel Berrigan, Ted Berrigan, Karen Black, Raymond Carver, Cher, Cornelius Eady, Allen Ginsberg, Spalding Gray, Abbie Hoffman, Maurice Kenny, Eve Merriam, Alicia Ostriker, William Packard, Robert Peters, Rochelle Ratner, Grace Shulman, and Kurt Vonnegut.
