Southern Festival of Books

Tomorrow morning, VERY early, I'm off to Nashville for the Southern Festival of Books. If you are in the area, my slot is 1:30-3:00. Details are available in my readings links.

On October 22, get out to the I See Straight People reading, a benefit for the Atlanta Queer Literary Festival. If you can't make the benefit, you can still support the festival by donating online.

On October 23 you can catch me at the annual Voices Carry event. Featured poets include Cecilia Woloch (Carpathia), Tania Rochelle (The World's Last Bone), Karen Head (Sassing) and Theresa Davis (Torn). Kodac Harrison will close the evening with song and poet and novelist Collin Kelley will be the host.

Get out there and experience some art!

Yeah, I Know...

I'm a lame blogger. I could offer all the usual excuses, but you know what I'm going to say. Life is busy sometimes. And, frankly, I don't think all that many people (except my friends) really read this anyway.

On the subject of being busy, if you aren't busy tomorrow evening, come over to the Decatur Library and hear me read with Bob Wood and Robin Kemp. Bob, who has decided his nom de plume should be "and others" because he always seems to fall in that category on the front pages of journals, wants you all to know that it is on his bucket list that you come to his reading. Let's make dreams come true!




Seriously though, Bob and Robin both have new, wonderful collections. Complete information is available here.
