Weekend Update

I have a kid-free weekend. Yay! Time to get my hair done, see friends, take down the holiday decorations—and, most important, write.

At AWP DC, I will be tweeting and blogging for the AWP’s blog. I’m setting up a few interviews that will run before the conference, February 2-5. Watch for my Q&A’s in the next two weeks.

I know it’s early, but I just found out the details to my session at Virginia Festival of the Book!

Poetry Reading: What Women Want
Sat. March 19th, 2011 - 2 p.m.

Delve into women's lives with Jehanne Dubrow (Stateside), Erika Meitner (Makeshift Instructions for Vigilant Girls), Anna Journey (If Birds Gather Your Hair for Nesting), and January Gill O'Neil (Underlife).

Location:
New Dominion Bookshop
404 E Main St
This is the first time I’ve read in my home state, so I’m really looking forward to the festival.

Now, if I could just set something up with my alma mater, Old Dominion University, that would be icing on the cake. Haven’t had much luck with the English Department.
