Today's NaPoWriMo poem is springy and Eastery, and involves kisses and eggs.

NaPoWriMo Seis. I pulled a Kasey, and tried anagramming a Shakespearean sonnet, although I departed from the anagrammatical into something more normal after a while. La. Sonnets are silly.

Maureen's Poetry Tour o' Madness

Next week, I am going NewYorkward for readings aplenty. I get to do this because I am a poetic overachiever teacher's pet goody two-shoes. When the rest of you were hopscotching on the playground, I was in the library making portraits of Keats out of macaroni for extra credit. I am so achingly into this I might develop a panic disorder and get quoted in a New York Times article on "Are we pushing our poets too far?" and all the poets interviewed will be skinny white people who go to private school.

Anyway, here's the schedule:

Wednesday, April 11 & Thursday, April 12, 7:30pm

THE PSA FESTIVAL OF NEW AMERICAN POETS

Two back-to-back evenings of ten poets each, with first-book authors Kazim Ali, Sarah Gridley, Tyehimba Jess, Janice Harrington, Jay Hopler, Douglas Kearney, Corinne Lee, Aimee Nezhukumatathil, Robyn Schiff, Richard Siken, Tony Tost, and Stephanie Young reading alongside the 2005 and 2006 PSA Chapbook Fellows: Dan Chelotti, Jessica Fjeld, Stuart Greenhouse, Misty Harper, Idra Novey, Cecily Parks, Maya Pindyck, and Maureen Thorson.

$10 for both nights / $7 for PSA Members and Students.
$7 for one night / $5 for PSA Members and Students.

Co-sponsored by The New School Graduate Writing Program.

Tishman Auditorium, The New School
66 West 12th Street, NYC

***

On Friday the 13th, Erica Kaufman and I are having a book party in Brooklyn. Email me if you want details. It is a secret cool kid party.

***

At 2 p.m. on Saturday the 14th, I'm going to be in Kingston NY, reading for the Cadmium Text series. Check out the details here.

Gott in Himmel; I'm facing another computerless night. I begin to think that the computer-fixing guys actually dropped my computer off a bridge in some kind of Jackass-like stunt, and just don't want to admit it.

They say tomorrow morning -- before noon. For sure!!!

Yes, and I have a bridge to sell you (great for dropping expensive electronic equipment off of).
