OFFSITE AWP READING next spring

Just found out that Steve and I will be in the offsite AWP reading that Black Lawrence Press is putting together for the great anthology of collaborative writing THEY SAID. In Portland, in March. We're going anyway, Steve is on a panel, can't wait.

A very slow time for publications, or so it feels to me. I have a few coming out in the next couple of months, but not many. 

​Always love Poe. In fact my 600-page PhD dissertation was on Poe and the American modernists (how they remade him in their own image to define different brands of modernism in the 1920s). I found this great picture of a Poe boxcar online on the poet Todd Smith's site. I don't know where he got it, and when someone on Facebook asked him about the sources of the pictures on his new site, he wrote: "No, they aren't my pics - they're all cropped from random online sources (images that are labeled for reuse - someone please let me know if that doesn't make it OK!)"
