If you want to catch me at Seattle’s very first Geek Girl Con at the Seattle Center tomorrow, here is my schedule:
–Book signing and hanging out at the University Bookstore booth from noon-1:00 PM (Media Signing Schedule Here. PS I’ll be near former Buffy writer Jane Espenson! Eeeee!)
–Presentation on “Superheroines in Poetry” at 5 PM at the NW Rooms: Fidalgo (full Saturday presentation schedule here. There are a lot of fun sessions!)
My review of Christine Deavel’s Woodnote is up at The Rumpus.
Seattle poet Elizabeth Austen’s “Advice to a Young Poet” is up at the Hugo House blog here.
In other news, I got a rejection and an acceptance yesterday, which means my poetry spreadsheet is looking too thin. Need to send out some work. It’s the perfect weather for it – grey, meandering cold with petulant rain spells. I also had a wonderful package from a poet in Japan which included a Tanka journal in both Japanese and English and a collection of folk tales called “Uepekere of Chitose: Thirteen Stories from the Land of the Ainu.” Fantastic!
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.
