An Excerpt in The Collagist

As Carissa promised earlier this week, I (Randolph) am writing a guest post for her while she’s off writing, and talking about writing, and writing some more at Wesleyan.

Most people who read Carissa’s blog or see her Facebook and Twitter updates already know that she has a new book, The Mere Weight of Words, coming out at the end of the month. If you’d like to get a sneak peek at the book, you can read an excerpt that was published today at The Collagist. After reading it and getting excited about the book, you can join Carissa at one of her upcoming readings. The dates and locations are listed under “Tour” just a little above and to the left of these words. Unless, of course, you’re reading this on tumblr, in which case there’s probably a picture of a cat above and to the left of these words. Sorry. There’s only so much I can control.
