How did I just now realize that I have been in Oz for the last few days?!   Happy happy tenth anniversary to Fairy Tale Review in the Emerald City!  Happy AWP Seattle! P.S.   But there really is no place like home. Glad to have been there, and glad to have made it back again!

AWP Seattle: Greatest Hits of 2014

1. Met Nance Van Winckel and looked on as she happily signed the broadside that I designed with Jehanne for Literary House Press. Two lovelies: Jehanne Dubrow and Nance Van Winckel 2. Met my amazing editor/publisher Kristy Bowen at the Dancing Girl Press table. 3. Caught up with an old poet-friend from undergrad, the indomitable Alyse Bensel . She, Owen, and I ventured into downtown Seattle for an evening of delicious Thai food, strawberry mojitos, and book shopping at Elliott Bay Book Co.   4. Attended the hands-down best panel of the Conference: "Magic and the Intellect" with Lucy Corin, Kate Bernheimer, Rikki Ducornet, and Anna Joy Springer. I took a lot of notes, but I think the line that will stick with me most was Kate's "magic is to intellect as fairy is to tale." Perfect. For further reading in this area, I highly recommend this series of essays in the Buch Märchen issue of Evening Will Come: A Monthly Journal of Poetics from
