In 2008, Suzanne included this fantastic, dirty, homicidal love poem by Rene Ricard in her section of the reader. In 2012, Kevin Killian, a friend of mine and Suzanne's, wrote a blog post for SFMOMA's Open Space about the Rene Ricard show at the Highlight Gallery in SF. In the comments section to the post Rene Ricard corrects Kevin, "misquote corrected: “Then Love Takes Us to Faraway Places” but thanks a lot Kevin. Rene Ricard." Knowing Suzanne's association with SFMOMA/ Open Space, and knowing her affinity for the poetry of Rene Ricard (via The New Yipes Reader) I wondered how she felt about Rene Ricard leaving a comment on Open Space blog. Judging by her followup comment to Rene Ricard in the same comments section, I would say she felt excited, humbled, and regionally hospitable, "Rene Ricard, I’m your sweetest San Francisco fan, after Kevin, by far. Come out and see us and I’ll take you both on a Gondola trip around Lake Merritt, the jewel of Oakland."
