The poetry of Deborah Garrison, who recently made her debut with her critically acclaimed collection A Working Girl Can’t Win, speaks in a voice sometimes defiant and tinged with sarcasm, but humorous, too, and sweetened by tender longing. In this program, Bill Moyers and Ms. Garrison discuss topics centering on her experiences as a woman in the workforce. Readings by Ms. Garrison feature "The Boss," "Please Fire Me," "A Kiss," "A Friendship Enters Phase Two," "The Firemen," "Atlantic Wind," "She Was Waiting to Be Told," "3 A.M. Comedy," "She Thinks of Him on Her Birthday," and of course "A Working Girl Can’t Win." (27 minutes)
