Thanks to Kelli for pointing out this wonderful interview with Dorianne Laux, one of my favorite poets, about her new books – and if you look hard, there might even be a mention of me right beside one of my other favorite poets, Denise Duhamel. I’m honored to be in the same paragraph! Thanks Dorianne!
Heading into Ballard for a poetry reading tonight. Had a lovely time yesterday at a holiday gathering of friends, despite a persistent head cold that has rendered any talk of venturing out into the blistering cold (temps in the 30s which is awfully chilly for coastal Washington) deeply uninteresting.
Just a few days left to finish up freelance work and finish Christmas shopping for my family…

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.

Great Interview! And Dorianne’s new book is on my personal Christmas list (I am sure that Anthony got it for me).
