Amber Tamblyn: 'Paris Review Spring Revel' Presenter!

Amber Tamblyn celebrates great American literature at the 2012 Paris Review Spring Revel gala celebration in NYC on Tuesday (April 3).

Here’s what the 28-year-old actress shared on The Poetry Foundation‘s “Harriet” blog:

“After presenting an award at the the Paris Review Spring Revel last night in New York, I spoke briefly with a Big Editor about where poetry has been and where it is going. Verbatim, here is our last exchange before some imported, expensive cheeses were placed on the table:

“Editor: ‘…for me, it seems as though the newer poetry coming out of the younger generations today�”no disrespect�”feels so disposable.’

“Amber: ‘What’s ironic about that�”no disrespect�”is that someday, I am going to replace you.’”
