big thanks to Jefferson Carter for rocking out ADV PO

big thanks to Jefferson for doing such a good job at ADV PO tonite.  we had our last wksp....sigh.  next Tues is our reading at Casa Libre...are you coming?

my most fav drew krewer has 3 poems in Diagram / also a review of Morgan's chapbook via Flying Guillotine

Here's one of Drew's poems in the issue:

AGE 5 | FLASHDANCE (1983) | 4:19-7:27

There are men watching me. I click like a hammer. The bare light bulbs, kitchened and anonymous. Whoops my silhouette, there's a dress-off, leg off the couch caught in the eyes of men. Slither to the floor in a blur of fridge, my earrings are powerful my whole body is powerful it clicks, I touch the floor. I'm taking it off, I'm pulling the chain and it's falling and ruining the carpet. My hair is dangerous like a foot to a balloon. I am in the lights, I am human, I spin cause my mama told me not to. Spinning, almost skating I'm wetting all the men and they watch and watch between my heels my head flinging flirting almost detachable like a toy like a dream.

I love Drew Krewer's work!  We both grew up in southern Ga--like 30 miles from each other!

Thank goodness for DD.  I haven't seen anyone for like two days out of the need to burrow in grief but she popped by tonite for a glass of wine in the backyard, is always an angel.

Last week of school!  Yeeeeeeah!

mon / fresh week / Love's Labor's Lost poolside / godspeed

Miss you Papa Coley.  Love to family.

Last week of school:  knuckle down essay time.

DD graduates this week (leaves Tucson in 3 weeks, sigh-o).

L.L.L:  "It doth forget to do the thing it should ; / And when it hath the thing it hunted most, / 'Tis won, as towns with fire ; so won, so lost."

Contend with this face to bring you up:

baby grrrrl.

aint had a prayer since i dont know when

Hair gone.  Big thanks to the University of Alabama's Black Warrior Rev for choosing me to come read for the Bankhead Visiting Writers Series.  I'm slated for Oct 18 & couldn't be more excited.  I'm also southern bound reading in my home state of Georgia, that beautiful lady, at Emory University on Aug 9th.
