26th – 1917 American…

I am 62 days into my 100 day book tour, still feeling like the most blessed human in the you-knee-verse. Tomorrow, I start my leg of the tour going Eastward. (Vegas, Baby!) I’ll be home for Christmas, y’all. I’ve added more shows and cities here, but I have some more dates to fill - please let me know if you’d like me to come feel feelings in your city.

How To Bring Poetry To Your Hometown, Build Your Community, Become A Better Writer, Have A Witchin-Party, Make Money and Have Fun:

1.     Have a house, apartment, living room, basement, or a friend with one of these.

2.     Set up a date with me, Megan Falley (meganfalley@gmail.com) to feature at your Witchin’ House Show!

3.     You can choose from an array of workshops, (either on writing, performance, poetry slam, or combating rape culture and other plagues of small communities!) that I will curate. This can be followed by an open mic of sorts for you and your friends to share your work. Then I will read poems for as long as you’d like.

4.     You can charge at the door. Maybe $5 if you skip the workshop, $10 if both performance and workshop are included. We can also make this a potluck event or, if you desire, set up a “bar.”

5.     The show will be intimate – just me, you, and the friends you invite for this glorious night of poems, sharing, building, crafty, and pure joy.

6.     At the end of the night, you can make back the money you spent on food/alcohol and more if you’d like.

7.     There is really no lose to this situation. Please e-mail me if you are interested – most especially if you live in Portland, Los Angeles, Tuscon, Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Austin, New Orleans, Alabama, Atlanta, Charlotte, Richmond, DC Area !

Oh Hi! I am halfway through my 100 day book tour, but I still have some openings to fill in...

Oh Hi!

I am halfway through my 100 day book tour, but I still have some openings to fill in December. I would love to put on a show with you at your slam venue, open mic, bookstore, college, or house! I’m looking to fill shows from the path between New Orleans - Alabama - Atlanta - North Carolina - Virginia, & DC. I’d appreciate this being passed on to anyone you know who may be interested too!

♥,
Meg.

Poems and Gender and Not Appropriating Stories, oh my!

(…in my mind that was catchier.)

Hey friends!
The Bakery Literary Journal, in all of their awesomeness, published TWO of my poems.

Here is Artificial Perks,

and here is The Writer.

These are two of my favorite poems from my upcoming book, What the Night Demands (April 2013, Write Bloody Press), and I’m excited to see them first find a home at The Bakery.

I just wanna say that I think you're awesome and inspiring and I love you.

Well hi! I love you too! Will I be meeting you on any of my tour stops?

      When I was a tenth grade, angsty girl with a penchant for sad music and ‘feeling infinite’, it seemed Stephen Chbosky’s “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” came to me at exactly the right time. I read the book in a single night, and then again shortly after. I attribute a lot of the young adult—-yet brave novel (dealing with issues such as suicide, queerness, drug use, physical and sexual violence - all while maintaining moments of joy and whimsy) to my desire to be a writer. And also my desire to never be “cool.” I heard recently that Chbosky’s book sales were surprisingly dismal, but not because people were not reading the book, but because every person who read it immediately gave it to someone they knew. The book was largely circulated through the immediacy of “I know someone who MUST READ this.” Briana Lurie gave me her copy. I loaned mine to Andrew Sass who handed it back with his favorite quotes penciled on the inside jacket. I still have it. Today I am a professional writer. I am on a book tour, currently in Salt Lake City where I know virtually no one. I took myself to the movie version that the author even wrote the screen play for (!) When I was 17, I wanted to make that movie. He did a great job. This was my first time alone in a movie theater (very fitting for the title!) and I allowed myself to laugh and cry loudly and eat an entire bag of peanut butter m&ms. I allowed myself to be young again, and ‘happy and sad at the same time, even though I am not sure how that could be.’

TUMBLR PEOPLE WHO COME TO MY SHOWS:

Thank you for introducing yourselves in each city. It really is incredible for me to meet each and every one of you and it makes this sometimes huge country that I’m touring seem smaller and filled with friends. Hug!
