Tangent 2: Otoliths 65

Maria Gingerich, here shown, was a stalwart townie girl in late 90s State College. The Coffee Cellar, the Diner, and all points in between were beats for her. Emily Dunlop was another stalwart townie girl, who moved in similar circles. This 2022 page from Otoliths 65 develops the idea that there was some softness to the last few months I spent in SC, writing Mortuary Puppies, witnessing the staging of Dada Circus and the rest. Jennifer in the poem is Jennifer Strawser, who is also documented extensively elsewhere. I lived, it so happens, in two different South Atherton Street sublets, one in '96, one in '98.
