Fourteen Hills reading
Fourteen Hills throws a mean poetry party! Free food, big bar, good sound, a DJ - and multiple Seattle readers! This is me reading three poems. Video courtesy of husband and videographer Glenn.

Reading in San Francisco with Fourteen Hills and More!
Occasionally I am part of really fun poetry events that include things like DJs and catered food and happen in a motorcycle club. Not often, though, so be sure to come out this Friday!

The Beastly Bride interviews and Rattle Summer 2010
More contributor copies are rolling in! Rattle's Summer 2010 issue, which contains a tribute to humor and an interview with Carl Phillips, also has wonderful poems by my friend Martha Silano and wonderful poets like Diane Wakowski and Toi Derricotte, and me! The poem is another one of my series of advice poems, that I'm not sure why but I keep writing, called "I Forgot to Tell You the Most Important Part."

LCRW contributor copies, good news in general
Blogging from a beautiful sunny day - so hard to sit down at the computer and focus when the olive trees are blooming, the roses are everywhere shouting from walls and porches, the green field across from my apartment is full of soccer players shouting enthusiastically in Spanish. Took a walk around St. Helena this afternoon, visited the market and poked around inside stores I can't afford - things like 25-year-old balsamic vinegars, fancy cheeses, garlands of lavender, and locally-made soaps...

Adjuncting and Another winner, money and poetry, lit mags and politics
So, the second winner, Ron, never sent me his contact information, so I had to pick another winner for my poetry book giveaway: It's Candace at elisamaza@gmail.com. You can leave me a comment or I'll e-mail you for your snail mail address. Congrats on being a winner! (All winners selected with random number generators. Much quicker than pulling a literal number out of a literal hat!)

Patterson's To and From, also from Ahsahta Press, and Minimum Heroic by Christopher Salerno from The Mississippi Review Poetry Series.

Well, here I am entertaining you while all the other poets are off at AWP. WonderCon was definitely fascinating, I met some wonderful writers while I was there, real life superheroines, and got to do some very unique people watching (stormtroopers? anime characters come to life? A bevvy of Boba Fetts?) I still miss the literary slam dance at AWP, of course.

Yes, while everyone else is talking about where they'll be at AWP, I'm putting the finishing touches on my presentation "From Buffy to Xena: Female Comic Book Superheroes in Women's Poetry" for Sunday at WonderCon in San Francisco. (Sunday, 12:30-1:30, in the Moscone Center, room 204/206, in case you're wondering!) It's not traditionally a poetry venue, perhaps, but I'm hoping it will be fun and some people in the audience will find out that poetry can be, well, something different than love ...
