If you’re looking to catch me around the Seattle area in the next next ten days, you’re in luck!
First: Tonight, 6 PM Pacific/9 PM Eastern, I’ll be the featured guest at Collin Kelly and Deb Ager’s Twitter #poetparty, so show up, ask questions, etc!
Wednesday night, 7 PM, I’ll be reading a couple of poems at The Richard Hugo House as part of the “Greetings From Cincinnati Review” reading, along with wonderful local poets like Kelly Davio, Martha Silano, Megan Synder-Camp, Caroylne Wright, Rebecca Hoogs…anyway, it will be super fun! So a great place to hang out, meet Don Bogen, The Cincinnati Review‘s Poetry Editor, and hear some poetry from some wonderful poets!
Then, next weekend, during Geek Girl Con, I’ll be giving a presentation on Geek Girl Poetry: Monsters, Zombies, and Superheroes, at 10:30 AM on Sunday August 10. The whole con takes place downtown, and it sold out last year, so get there early for tickets! I’ll be book-signing afterwards and the most fun part is hanging out and chatting with folks like Gail Simone and Jane Espenson and all the heroines from your pop culture obsessions etc…(Last year, I was mistaken for Jane Espenson by a television reporter. I had to break the news that I was not, in fact, Jane. But I do love her!)
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.
