READINGS
I'm honored to do a week-long residency at
The Poetry Center at Smith College this week. On Tuesday, February 7, 7:30 p.m. at the Stoddard Hall Auditorium. I'm giving a craft lecture on Thursday at 7:30 and an open workshop on Friday. If you're in Western Massachusetts, it would be great to see you there.
On Friday, February 24 at 12:30 p.m., I'll be doing a reading at Ocean County College, which is on College Drive in Toms River, NJ. (Conference Rooms A & B, next to the bookstore). Thanks to Heidi Sheridan and all the folks at OCC for the invitation.
I'll be at AWP-Chicago to do
an off-site reading with Four Way Books, Autumn House Press, and Persea Books (Thursday, March 1st from 6-7:30pm at
Weather Mark Tavern). [Conference registration is required to attend this.]And I'll be on a pedagogy panel with other Kundiman folks on Friday, March 2 from 10:30 AM to 11:45 AM in the Lake Ontario room, Hilton Chicago, 8th Floor.
[Registration is requiredto attend this and I believe the period to do this has now ended, but if you're going to the conference, I hope you'll come to the panel.]The Writers Studio in NYC invited me to visit one of their classes in mid-March and I'll be headed to the University of Puerto Rico in mid-April to read some poems there. (A possible radio interview is in the works too, though I'm a little nervous about doing the whole thing in my off-beat remix Spanish.) Good look to Willie Perdomo for the hook-up.
A Self-Indulgent Sports Rant
Pac may fight Bradley in June. Cotto takes on Mayweather on May 5. I thought Nonito, on his step up 122, needed to increase his punch volume against Vazquez; then I saw his bloody wraps pulled out of his glove; good win for the Flash. D'Antoni must go; Jeremy Lin(Tik) saved his coach's job for now. Go Big Blue!
Ahead
This summer I'll be teaching a workshop for the
Cambridge Writers Workshop in the Picardy region of France during the last two weeks of August. Let me know if you're interested in attending. Application details should be available soon!!
I won a faculty research grant to use the archives at the Newberry in Chicago and do further research in the Philippines. I hope to see some old and new friends on both trips. And I've got tentative readings set up at Old Dominion and Rutgers-Newark for 2012-13. News and details as they develop. My website is due for an update. Keep an eye out for that, too.
I hope you all are well. Thanks again for the continued support.
Big love from Brooklyn, NY.
