I'm pretty sure I caught mine at a small but crowded gathering last
Saturday... the NY book launch
of the bio of my friend, poet James Wright. (James Wright, A LIfe in
Poetry) His (second) wife Anne, whose friendship wiht me has continued
over the years since Jims passing age in 1980. I first met them both in
1973. Her part at this particular signing and reading made it important
for me to go and not just dash in and get my book signed since I don't
get to see her much these days since she moved up to a senior residence
upstate in Rhinebeck.
There was a reception at Poets House following the reading of passages
by author Jonathan Blunk, by Annie
and poet/teacher/novelist Donna Masini - who had been Jim's student at
Hunter in the 70's. The book was a
very long time coming... Blunk had been working on it for a very long
time.. . I can only read it in small doses..
but it is nicely written. I wish he read his own prose as well as he
writes. Happily, Donna's turn at the microphone
telling stories and reading a couple of favorites made it a bit easier
to sit in the uncomfortable chairs.
Too much mingling at the reception.. too many hugs..etc.. sigh.. that
being said, not nearly as dangerous as
getting on plane in terms of picking up unwanted bugs - But Hawaii
-they- say is very low on flu monitor so thats in your favor.
I bet you guys can tell I just woke up from a nap (about the third one
today) - in chatty mode.
I did get my three pix in to Mark though...

I've got two set to send, agonzing over a third.. hunkered down with my
second cold of the winter..
after not having had any for a couple of years... at least I don't have
the flu - I always get the flu shot in October
and had my pneumonia shots .
will try to decide on a third shot in the next day or two..

Half way through the submission period and we're into the lull that
always comes between the initial rush and the last minute flail ;-)
Still, judging by the overall quality of the images we've received so
far I could probably put together a damn fine book right now...
Just a reminder: Everything stops on February 28 - Midnight GMT, 7:00
p.m. US Eastern time and 4:00 p.m. Pacific time. I have a busy
schedule this semester so we'll really be taking no more submissions
after the page shuts down.
Thanks to all those who made donations via the submission page. They
really help mitigate the out-of-pocket expense for me.
