Thereare all kinds of poetry events going on this weekend that I should be going to (Burning Word, Rebecca Loudon’s concert, three friends’ poetry readings…) but the husband is whisking me away for a birthday weekend of romantic entanglement (turning 33 on Sunday) so I’m going to shut off my brain and just try to relax and have some fun. But I will be thinking of you and your poetry activities and Rebecca’s beautiful concert.
Thanks to Jordan for the interesting take on Becoming the Villainess – he also discusses Gina Franco’s The Keepsake Storm (cool title!) His post made me go out and investigate Alice Fulton, who I’d heard of but never really read.

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.
