Friday, 31 March, I have the great pleasure of appearing at the Southern Literary Festival, being held at the University of Arkansas Fort Smith this year. Having lived in Arkansas since the fall of 1999, I was stunned to learn about this southern, undergraduate festival that has been happening since 1937. Each year, a different school hosts the festival, incorporating a writing conference with workshops, readings, and contests (for undergrads).
At 10:30 a.m. I’ll read with Courtney Miller Santo.
At 1:00 p.m. I’ll conduct a talk, “The Multiple Personae of the Poet,” with lots of time for interactions with the audience.
All thanks to Christian Anton Gerard for the invitation to read and to everyone at UAFS for the enormous amount of work preparing for the conference. I can’t wait to be there.
