The tour goes on…
Back in Seattle long enough to catch my breath, throw all my clothes in the laundry, (catch up on a little blog reading and television – Heroes – X-Files meets X-Men?) and indulge in some of my husband’s great cooking (yesterday, grilled salmon and beet and orange salad, mmm) before we pack up tonight and race off to the next reading on Wednesday night in Portland, Oregon.
I’m looking forward to seeing Portland State University for the first time and seeing some Portland friends, as well as meeting Laurel Snyder…Thanks to Burnside Review and Portland State for making this happen! Here’s the listing from Burnside Review’s web site:
“We’re excited to announce that Burnside Review in conjunction with PSU’s Literary Arts Alliance will be bringing 2005 Chapbook Contest winner Laurel Snyder to Portland October 11th. She will be reading from her winning manuscript, Daphne and Jim. Jeannine Hall Gailey will also read from her new book Becoming the Villainess. The reading will take place at 7:30 on the PSU campus, Smith Center, Cascade Room 238. Admission is free.”
So, be there, if you can…I think it’ll be a lot of fun.

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.
