This is only my second real featured San Diego reading, so if you missed the first one, I hope you’ll come out! I get nervous before readings, and even had a reading-oriented anxiety dream (the one where I lose my reading notebook, can’t remember any of my poems, and the audience acts bored. Oh, it’s worse than getting chased by monsters, I tell you!)
Also, both readers might be on crutches (we both sprained our ankles a week or so ago), so there’s more excitement than usual!
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.
