Poets on the Town
I had dinner last night with the delightful Kelli Agodon and her husband last night. It’s always nice to catch up with poet friends in my little town, which is at least an hour’s from other small towns.
Also, if you are a high school person or you have any high school kids with nothing to do in the Washington/Oregon area who would be interested in studying theater, arts, or writing for a week, the Centrum High School Intensives weeklong program still has scholarships available! For more information or to register, go here:

I’m pretty excited about this. I think I’ve already got ten students signed up for my class! It involves discussing how mythology and comics/graphic novels are related, and having students write their own myths and comic book superhero characters. Should be fun.
Jeannine Hall Gailey served as the second Poet Laureate of Redmond, Washington and the author of Becoming the Villainess, She Returns to the Floating World, Unexplained Fevers, The Robot Scientist’s Daughter, and winner of the Moon City Press Book Prize and SFPA’s Elgin Award, Field Guide to the End of the World. Her latest, Flare, Corona from BOA Editions, was a finalist for the Washington State Book Award. She’s also the author of PR for Poets, a Guidebook to Publicity and Marketing. Her work has been featured on NPR’s The Writer’s Almanac, Verse Daily and The Year’s Best Fantasy and Horror. Her poems have appeared in The American Poetry Review, Poetry, and JAMA.
