Friends in Northern Virginia, DC, and Maryland, I’ll be in your area on Sunday, September 22, to read at the Fall for the Book Conference. As the runner-up to Gazing Grain Press’ 2013 feminist chapbook contest, I’m slated to read at their party for Meg Day, the winner. Cathy Park Hong selected Meg Day’s chapbook, We Can’t Read This, as the winner of the contest, and I’m so excited to hear Meg read. We will be at the Sherwood Center from 4:30 – 6:00. And, hey, Dave Barry follows us!
As the chapbook I submitted contained poems from my forthcoming book, The Girlhood Book of Prairie Myths, that’s what I’ll be reading. It’s going to be an extra delight to read these poems for the first time as part of a collection with a home.
This conference runs from Sunday through the following Friday, and I’m super jealous of all the amazing talent I’ll miss and happy to be included!
Sounds fun. THE Dave Barry?
John, I believe so!
