Readings round-up

It's been a super-busy couple of weeks: Elizabeth and I drove to the Louisiana Book Festival, where I was fortunate enough to appear on a panel talking about The Southern Review as well as a reading, then back to work for a couple days, then up to Chicago for Wit Rabbit 48 and a reading at the Seminary Coop Bookstore in Hyde Park.
Certainly a whirlwind, but an amazing one. I've posted a few photos from the events below:

I'm late in sharing this post, but it was truly lovely to sit down with Rebecah Pulsifer on Smile Politely Radio, 90.1FM, which airs every Friday at 5:30PM, to talk about Translation. If you missed the radio show, here's a link to the podcast of the episode.
Talking to Unit 4 public schools

I was fortunate enough to come into Central High School in Champaign, IL this past Friday and talk with both an AP English class and Mr. Joe Meyer's second period welding class. It was a wonderfully eclectic group of students who asked great questions and were kind enough to let me talk abut poems for too long.

I can't say enough good things about the faculty, staff, and students I met during my visit to Franklin College this past Tuesday. I especially want to thank my friend Callista Buchen, who is a new faculty member in the department, and took care of all the details. A few photos of the event:
Monmouth reading recap
13, 13 November, 2013 | Filed in: Event
The reading at Monmouth was a huge success. Students and faculty alike were active, engaged, and enjoying the time spent with great writing. Ted Sanders and Jensen Beach were, as always, amazing, and they had such wonderful advice for all the young writers there. I wanted to thank David Wright, and the entire Monmouth community, for hosting us and showing us such a great time.
