 me to give in to my own wildest nature,  my own violent claw at love, my 
 own hunt and impatient  struggle. She taught me to pet and expose the part 
 of  myself most desperate for love, taught me that  desperation for love... 
 is nothing more than a  desperation to live, which is holy."  - from the  
 introduction by Michelle Tea  Five years ago, beloved San Franciscan Eli 
 Coppola  died of a sudden heart attack at the young age of 38,  after many 
 years of battling of muscular dystrophy.  She left behind many dear 
 friends, her beloved dog  Lucy, and pages of heartfelt, well-crafted poems 
 that  speak of love's difficulties and rewards, as well as  the 
 ever-present specter of mortality.  Now Manic D Press has brought together 
 Eli Coppola's  writings in a single volume entitled Some Angels Wear  
 Black: Selected Poems, edited by David West, with an  introduction penned 
 by Michelle Tea.    Friends and admirers of Eli Coppola will gather to  
 celebrate her life and read from Some Angels Wear  Black: Selected Poems at 
 Modern Times Bookstore on  Tuesday, May 17th at 7 p.m. Featured readers 
 will  include poet/novelist Michelle Tea, editor David West,  publisher 
 Jennifer Joseph, and many other friends and  colleagues from readings at 
 the Café Babar, Chameleon,  and Paradise Lounge.    Some Angels Wear
