Urgh! Popsicles, soup, more soup, etc…

Check out the lovely and talented Ivy Alvarez’ First Book Interview (TM) by Kate Greenstreet here!

And, if you have a copy of Margaret Atwood’s book of poems, “You Are Happy,” just taking up space, I’d be happy to buy it or trade for it! It’s hard to find here, but Amazon has some used library discards…

I swear, I feel more like a human being today than I have in weeks! The girls, besides workshopping poems, also threw me a little suprise birthday party, complete with fancy chocolate cake and presents. Very sweet. Also Kelli brought fortune cookies and we all read our fortunes, and mine said: “You will solve difficult problems.” So thanks Kelli, Annette, Jenifer, Janet, Ronda: You guys reminded me that life is more than packing and problems.
Today, my review of Ivy Alvarez’ Mortal and a new review of Becoming the Villainess up at the new issue of Galatea Resurrects. God bless outlets for poetry reviews.
Boxes surround, and I am planning the layout of my new home office. Comcast’s cable has been acting up, and I’m hoping to catch the last episode of Heroes – because we can’t record it with the current conditions, and the cable’s been blanking out at various random intervals. Like me, Comcast apparently stops working when I get stressed out.
C. Dale Young will be in town to read at Open Books, the world’s best poetry-only bookstore, tomorrow night. I’m hoping to make it – you should too!
