Sorry for the lack of posts – Glenn’s grandmother passed away Friday morning, sadly. So we’ve been wrapped up in that. Now I’m in Forest Grove for Pacific’s residency, and will be here til the 20th. So I’ll try to post something while I’m here – but they keep us pretty busy. I promise to be very interesting after I’m back.

Until then, here’s the radio news that I posted to my mailing list – sorry if you’re reading it twice.

Did poetry kill the radio star? Am I taking over the airwaves in the month of June? For the answers, stay tuned…

Just a quick note to let you know about two radio-happenings coming up:

The first is on the local Seattle NPR station, KUOW – on June 12th, at 2 PM the show “The Beat” will feature Elizabeth Austen and me, including a portion of a recent reading I did for my new book, Becoming the Villainess. If you aren’t local, or you are but you won’t be near your radio, check out the daily podcast of the show at http://www.kuow.org/programs/thebeat.asp!

The second is that on June 16th, Garrison Keillor will read the poem “Spy Girls” from Becoming the Villainess on his NPR show, The Writer’s Almanac – here’s the web site for them so you can find your local stations’ show time and his podcast – http://writersalmanac.publicradio.org/
