My No Name reading is today, Friday November 12 at 4pm at Zen’s Lounge on 11th Street just north of O. Excited? Me too. Here are three new audio recordings of poems from My Imaginary.
And, if I have time, I might even read from Branding Girls forthcoming from Finishing Line Press. Branding Girls goes on pre-sale later this month. Yippee!
I just received my contributor’s copy of Lavanderia: A Mixed Load of Women, Wash, and Word published by San Diego City Works Press. It’s such a great anthology! My poem “Chanticleer,” in this amazing book, is also included in my forthcoming chapbook my imaginary from dancing girl press. Lavanderia includes such writers as Tatiana de la Tierra. I met Tatiana when she spoke here at the 2007 No Limits conference. (The call for the 2009 conference is here).
Also, Poemeleon‘s just released their special issue on gender, which includes three of my poems. It’s such a great issue! Check out the work by Davi Walders and Jeannie Hall Gailey.
Illuminations nominated my poem “Wife Brand” for the 2010 Pushcart Prize.
