Lock Haven Wednesday

I'm heading over with Deirdre O'Connor to Lock Haven University on Wednesday night to take part in the Common Wealth reading: joining us will be former colleague Cynthia Hogue, who is in town to read at Bucknell Hall on Tuesday night with Robert Love Taylor.

Yes, I'm leaving West Branch in a month. Yes, we'll get back to you on anything you haven't gotten word on yet. In fiction, we're full up, so I'm closing down those submissions a week early. We're still reading through what's come in, still talking about several stories, so this does not mean "abandon hope" if'n yer still waitin'. . .

Meanwhile, is anyone looking for a guest editor?

Off to Penn State. . .

Where I'm delighted to be reading tomorrow night with Lynn Emanuel, Judith Vollmer, and Jeanne Murray Walker at the fourth annual Public Poetry Project Reading. Posters/broadsides for everyone. PSU is only an hour away, and I've never been to the campus, though we did drive over for excellent sushi last year (in central PA, one drives for good food . . .)

Back to DC

I'm starting to feel like DC is my adopted home--three readings last year and another one coming up this weekend, at the Lavender Languages Conference at American University. I'll be reading on Saturday with Jeff Mann and Robert Giron, so please say howdy if you're there.
