Postcard from Ohio and New York…
Well, I’m worn out – you couldn’t ask for two better hostesses than Mary Biddinger at University of Akron and Aimee and Dustin at SUNY Fredonia! I loved meeting all their students, the audiences for the reading were so enthusiastic (25 minutes of Q&A at Akron!) and it was just a pleasure to hang out with the lovely and talented Mary and Aimee, talking about poetry and lit mags and babies and lip gloss.
Here are few pics of the fun:
Where I’ll be the next two weeks:
Midwest Book Tour Extravaganza!!
If you’re in Akron, Ohio or Fredonia, New York, don’t miss these events!
Read about one of them in this cool news story: http://www.wivb.com/Global/story.asp?S=7136728
(However, don’t be confused: my bio is a little outdated, as I’ve graduated, work for Crab Creek Review instead of Raven Chronicles, etc. )

Thanks Aimee Nez and Mary Biddinger for making these readings possible! And thanks in advance to all who come out!! I will spill gossip and possibly pics after the readings are done.
After the readings, I’ll be visiting family in Cincinnati for a week, so I won’t be blogging or e-mailing as much as usual til after I get back on Oct 14.
