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:

Book update: new title!
28, 28 August, 2014 | Filed in: Notice
Just a quick update on book progress:
The editing and shaping process has been wonderful thus far. I think we're close to a final version. The big news is that the book will have a new title: Translation.
This was the original title, many years ago, prior to playing about with dozens of others. It feels most appropriate to the intuitions and content of the collection, so I'm really excited to officially be returning to it.
More updates soon!
