Update: Whine deleted. Wonderful husband fixed car. Stayed in because (re: deleted whine) sick, and as a result, finished several assignments and read Anne Carson’s The Beauty of The Husband, which I liked but not as much as I liked Autobiography of Red. Wrote three poems. All in all, blessings and more blessings, many things to be grateful for.
Also, scheduled first official book reading for my and Martha Silano’s books debuting from Steel Toe Books next year: June 22 at Open Books in Seattle. Afterwards, some kind of party will be planned. Possibly with free cupcakes.
But onto people with real problems. Southeast Review and Southern Review are both asking people to send checks for Katrina victims in exchange for issues of their magazines.

June 22 sounds like a good day for a reading. It’s actually my birthday.
Great job on those order forms!
