Postcard from Ohio and New York…
Well, I’m worn out – you couldn’t ask for two better hostesses than Mary Biddinger at University of Akron and Aimee and Dustin at SUNY Fredonia! I loved meeting all their students, the audiences for the reading were so enthusiastic (25 minutes of Q&A at Akron!) and it was just a pleasure to hang out with the lovely and talented Mary and Aimee, talking about poetry and lit mags and babies and lip gloss.
Here are few pics of the 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.
