In case you missed it, The Observer published this on Saturday.
This morning, The Observer, as well as, we’re guessing, any number of other New York media outlets, received the following email from the PR team over at the 92nd St Y:
In light of Zabar’s changing the name of lobster salad to “seafare salad,” I thought you might be interested in this audio of William Carlos Williams, as he reads the poem “Seafarer” at 92Y in 1954.
We promptly responded to the Y’s email with a link to our groundbreaking weekend item, and the Y just as promptly sent out to its list a link to our piece. Alas, the link they sent out was not the link we sent them. But you know what 92nd St Y?
We’ve reposted
the link
that was in
our system
and which
you emailed
inaccurately
this morning
Forgive us
it is a masterpiece
so terse
and so timely
