Not Bernadette Mayer (see below). Bernadette Mayer. Form-bending New York poet, and the inspiration for Drunken Boat's Bernadette Mayer Folio, coming this summer. Not Bernadette Geyer (see above).

Be strong Bernadette Nobody will ever know I came here for a reason Perhaps there is a life here Of not being afraid of your own heart beating Do not be afraid of your own heart beating

SO REMEMBER
