We're off...again...


First, thanks to all of you who came out to Cornelia Street last night. It was a treat to discover Michael Montlack's poems live and in person, and to read with David, whose final Paris poem-in-progress was a wonder of "At the time" and "In Retrospect" call-and-response. (I hope to read it again soon, and take a peek at some of the collages he's been working on.)

Working a half day today and picking up Jen this afternoon. Here's the schedule for the Midwest. If you're out there somewhere, please come say hello!



May not represent actual highway route. I'd need to add little cop cars with flashing lights for maximum accuracy.

UPDATE: I just want to show off this poster below, which one of the students at Watkins College of Art & Design in Nashville made for our visit there during the last trip. Isn't it fantastic?! We totally felt like rock stars. Jen signed them all "Good Luck in Prison." Unfortunately I've misplaced the designer's name, so I can't give her proper credit.
