It looms. It's a three-day orgy of readings, panels, boutiques, a bookfair, and hanging out with dear, dear friends. All I'm sayin' is I got $800 travel money from my department, and I'm using it. Reading the schedule is like walking through a ginormous buffet--so much food, so little room--and I am resolved to not let the buffet consume me.
Anyone out there going? What readings/panels are whetting your appetite? I know I'm keen on seeing the session with Stephanie Brown. If you don't know her work, check out this short three-parter from the NEA site. A poet friend calls her "one mean mother."

Dear Southern Man,
I'm glad you wanted to go to my AWP panel, but I regret to say that I won't be attending after all. My son had a serious medical situation in January and it in not the best time for me to go away. But I'm very glad that you like my work and found me out of one of those monstrous program guides, and hope you do go to the panel to see the other fine Pitt Press poets.
Best,
One Mean Mother
(Stephanie Brown)
