The oral
biography Josephine Miles: Teaching Poet, edited by
Marjorie Larney, captures the acclaimed poet's reflections on 40 years of
writing and teaching at the University of California, Berkeley.
Miles on the 60s
"It was just a really
exhilarating time because of the students' energy and need. It was a
lovely time for teaching. I taught more students, more fast, more
motivatedly, more with their aid and help than ever before."
"The
students would get together to raise money to leaflet, their constructive
work. You always hear about the glass-breaking, but they raised lots of
money to leaflet in the suburbs. My students made two to three magazines,
which they wrote and printed, and collated out there on the patio. A
thousand copies—sold for a dollar a copy. They'd sell every one.... And
they'd buy anti-Cambodia [invasion by US troops] leaflets. And they'd go
out to San Leandro and they'd talk to people, then come back and talk
about the conversations.... I mean so much positiveness of the 60s will
some day, I hope, come out."

Stage V: A Journal Through Illness (1984) tells
how Sonny Wainwright battled breast
cancer, and how the New York City women's writing community rallied to her
side every step of the way.
From the Introduction by poet Joan Larkin
"Sonny is my
teacher in faith and persistence, in the determination to survive, to
recover, and to write. To tell our secrets. And not to have to do it
alone. Women need this!"
