What's up.
We take to the road again on Sunday, driving south to DC. Finally meeting Maureen Thorson. Finally meeting Reb Livingston and Carly Sachs, and hopefully Kaplan Harris. Looking forward to meeting & reading with Anne Gorrick and Betsy Wheeler, the 3 of us certain to leave the Burlesque Poetry Hour on Monday night lighter than when we arrived. Max and I plan to visit the Joseph Cornell exhibit at the Smithsonian while we're in town, too.
From DC we'll drive down to the UVA campus in Charlottesville where I'll read with Jason Labbe and Karen Garthe on Tuesday night. It's happening at Jason's house--something new for all concerned. I love the idea of poetry readings that take place in someone's apartment or backyard. Shouldn't we have something like a House Concert circuit, the way folk musicians do?
On to Richmond Wednesday, reading with Liz Canfield at Chop Suey Books (thanks to Susan Williams). Then we'll head back north, the future having become the past, maps become roads and buildings and sky, satellite views understood differently from the ground.
