Looking Forward to AWP
because there will be so many nice people there that I only get to see once a year, now that AWP has become this unlikely small-press/poetry reunion landscape; but why is it making me so nervous? We’ve got our fortune cookies with cryptic messages and book deals inside; we’ve got our books, of course; got our signage mostly; got new little book stands to hold up the books so everyone can see them amongst the sea of books. Interns are in place in case I want to creep off to hear a panel or two. I dunno. Come by and see me to see if I’m still nervous. And even if I am still nervous, come to our reception and our reading and our party (visit Events page for details).

k, so how’d it go? I intend to check back in.

ranchos huevos. The night before my fortune said:
