Blog | Journal Entry From 1982 About Helen Adam Reading in Milwaukee |
2/5/82. Saw Helen Adam give a wonderful performance at Woodland Pattern. She is a remarkable being and indeed a true visionary poet! One could almost imagine Blake singing his Songs of Innocence & Experience in the same manner. I asked her if she practiced the Craft [witchcraft] & she said she had read many books on it, and smiled and smiled, which I take to mean yes. She was a small, bird-like lady with a slight accent, who pronounced her words in an unusual manner: for instance “with” would be “wif,” etc. James Liddy was there with friends. A packed house.
