Confession Tuesday
I am nervous about tonight's reading--always happens before an event. But I have to say I'm much less nervous than in the past because I did a few readings in '07. I have no clue which poems I'll read tonight but, somehow, it will be OK. Maybe I'm becoming more Zen in my old age.
****
The article in The Salem News was a pleasant surprise. And now I'm focused on using this great press to connect with other venues in the Boston area and connecting with other area writers. This is an exciting time and I feel more energized about poetry than ever!
****
At the end of the month, I'll attend the AWP conference in NYC. I'm really looking forward to this trip, not only because it's a great opportunity to be in the heart of the poetry community, but I'll spend some much needed me-time with friends talking about poetry, and eating and drinking in a city I love.
****
Cannot believe the New Hampshire primary is here. I'm a Hillary supporter, but, quite frankly, I could be happy with any of the democrats.
****
Saw the movie Juno over the weekend. Excellent film--I highly recommend it. Funny, but I could relate more to the yuppie couple of Jason Bateman and Jennifer Garner than the semi-cool kids in Juno's high school.
****
It's supposed to get to 60 degrees today. Finally, a break from the single-digit temps of late.
****
Is it too early to eat chocolate pudding? I mean, it must be noon somewhere in the world.

Good luck tonight. You'll be fine.
Thanks for the kind words.
You'll do fine!
Have a great reading and let us know how it goes!
Drop her a welcome, when you can.
As for the pudding - well... I think you deserve it.
You'll do great! I'm so sorry I can't be there!
Go for the pudding!
LOVE!
It was a great reading at
the Frost hoot tonight, January!
You should try the Portsmouth
hoot, too. I think you stand
an excelent chance at featured
poet there! You would
wow the crowd. On target.
If you aren't featured, beware:
you need to be there well ahead of
the 7pm start time...it's a big
(if very warm)crowd.
Thanks,

I didn't have pudding yesterday, but definitely plan to have it tomorrow. Ooooh ... I'll post a picture for the blog. The pudding at the campus center is pretty good.
