Mark Doty, winner of the 2008 National Book Award for poetry , was (allegedly) verbally harassed last week over in North Beach. After an evening of dinner, chocolate-orange gelato, and Taha Mohammed Ali, there was an altercation on Columbus after an elderly man was trying to get into his car. Some crazy lady lost her mind, got into a altercation with Doty. According to his blog, "the woman behind the wheel glared at me, flipped me off, glared some more, then called me a "fucking faggot." And then? It get good. The lady runs into some other restaurant, then Doty and his partner are chased by "two six-foot guys," and, well, you can read the rest of it here. Update: Uh oh. Yelpers are on the case.
