After a week writing on a placid farm in Vermont, staying with my dear old friend from college Sarah Green, I’m off to San Antonio for Macondo, the annual workshop founded by Sandra Cisneros for writers of social justice. If you (or any friends) are in the vicinity, I’ll be doing a reading with other Macondistas. As soon as I return I’ll be on Governor’s Island for the First Annual NYC Poetry Festival, a cavalcade of poetry under the sun. Details for both are below.
