Rittenhouse published a memoir that includes a dazzling account of the PSA's first few seasons. She recalls being at the PSA for the last sighting of Ezra Pound in the New York bohemian scene, Sara Teasdale's literary debut, a visit by Amy Lowell on the eve of The Imagist Anthology, Siegfried Sassoon's post-World War One reading, and the American tour of W.B. Yeats. PSA's Spring 2004 Calendar is no less exciting, with readings and seminars that will challenge and engage contemporary poetry audiences across the country.
