Thanks to everyone in Chicago for the great experience and reading for Palabra Pura. I was there for a little less than two days, but I was able to see a lot of this great city thank to my gracious host and lots of walking. I have pictures, and I hope to post them soon.

I got my contributor’s copies of PALABRA issue four with four new poems. I’m really enjoying the other writers in the issue and it’s a beautiful magazine! To learn where to purchase PALABRA, visit here.

Right now, I’m trying to survive the final week of classes. Next week is finals week, entering the home stretch. It’s been a busy but good one. Once the piles of poems, fiction theory, and nonfiction shrink, it will be time to resume poems and work on this page.

Reading alert: If you’re in the Colorado Springs area tonight, I’ll be reading at 7 pm with Steven Wingate at Colorado College for their Visiting Writing Series.

A few friends of mine told me it was in the Colorado Springs Independent too. Here’s a link with more info:
