Rita Banerji's Book, Sex And Power,
reviewed by Word Worth in January, 2009, is now
stocked by dozens of universities in the United States
including Harvard, Cornell, Berkley, Columbia and others.
Soon after publication, it was on Crosswords best seller
list in India—just ahead of #2 Barack Obama's Dreams of
My Father and #3 Audacity of Hope.

Regarding Alastair Reid
-
From
1979 -1983 I lived in Georgetown and attended Christ
Church where Sanford Garner was the rector. Did you
speak at the church one time on your poem Curiosity and
talk about how you divide people up into a percentage of
dog and cat. I distinctly remember hearing you speak
and enjoying it so much. I believe you said that you
divided people into 5 parts dog/3 parts cat, or 1 part
dog/7 parts cat. Today, my senior in high school left a
copy of a poem she said she thought I would like, and it
was your Curiosity poem which I feel certain was the
basis of your presentation. I have been trying to
remember who it was that I heard and when I read
"Alastair Reid" at the bottom of the poem, it all
clicked. I am so happy to find you and to have the
pieces of this puzzle put together. I hope you are in
good health and it just makes my heart smile to see how
your words have come full circle . . . and that my
daughter enjoyed the message of your poem as much as I
did. Thank you. If you have time, would you let me
know you received this?
p.s. I don't know if you were friends with Sanford
Garner or not, but I made a trip to D.C. to see him
after he had been diagnosed and treated for his cancer.
He was a wonderful and influential person to me, and I
actually took this same daughter I referred to above to
meet him. What a tremendous person he was.
