Still experiencing repercussions from the bad news of last week, but pulling myself together, especially since I’m up against a super busy week! Check out all this cool stuff:
Check out this surreal interview Saeed Jones did…with my poems! In The The Poetry:

Saeed is a gifted writer with a really interesting imagination, as you can see from the interview. I just tried to keep up!
Tomorrow I’m finally allowed to make the official announcement about my new job. I’m about to go to a meeting with the Arts Coordinator to finalize some plans. Lots of meetings involved with this job, at least so far…
Later this week I’m going up to the Port Townsend Writers Conference to do two afternoon classes, one on haiku and haibun and another on how to put together a poetry manuscript. I hope to see you there! I’m working on the handouts as we speak. I’m a handout addict!
So that’s today’s news. Tune in tomorrow for our super-secret special official announcement!
