I’m afraid I don’t have much of in the way of a photo update this week. I’ve been slaving away over various midterm projects for school, and have been sick and unable to do very much this weekend, so my life has not been particularly photo-worthy of late. Here’s a bento dinner I [...]

Someone from the program sent me an email today informing me that I’ve got a mention on the Sycamore Review’s Blog.
Pretty awesome. I actually think Katie gave me more credit than I’m due – she also spoke to my friend Steph, who was the one who filled her in about our program’s work with the [...]

I was hashing my “eureka” moment over with the friend I’m sharing a hotel room with last night, and realized that I forgot to stress the irony of this realization. I’ve actually known about this whole alienation from the American landscape for a long [...]

(Hah, and you totally thought my next post would be about the gift I sent D for Valentine’s Day, didn’t you?).
I’m in Chicago, in the middle of the 2009 AWP Conference – and what can I say so far, except that it’s been incredibly exhausting but utterly amazing. Today was only the first full day [...]

I’ve accomplished scandalously little in the way of schoolwork today. I blame part of it on the infernal deluge of snow that keeps pouring out of the sky. All this snow makes me cranky. And fidgety. The rest of it – is simply [...]

Before I begin, I’d like to take a moment to freak out: Whoa. The posting interface of WordPress has changed significantly since the last time I logged on (which was definitely less than a week ago).
Back to the subject of this post.
I’m working on a long, multi-sectioned poem consisting of smaller, (semi-)found poems (I say [...]

Thank God, I managed to get to California in once piece (albeit slightly disoriented), had a wonderful, if brief, stay (my friend was a beautiful, beautiful bride; I was able to catch up with some old friends; I spent lots of wonderful, and much-needed, QT with my boyfriend – and now am having a hard [...]
