This in my morning mail:
ReplyDeleteDear Michael -
Thanks for the mention of my upcoming reading at The Writers Place on October 18, 2009 at 7 PM. I read in this area very rarely so I am excited about the opportunity. Also:
I will be reading from my newly re-issued chapook, Notes from the Red Zone, by Seven Kitchens Press, which was originally published in 1983 by Seal Press in their anti-nuclear series. It was selected by Ron Mohring as the inaugural collection in the ReBound Series he initiated in 2008.
I am so excited about this old wine in such a fine new bottle. And the wonderful possibilities of a whole new generation of readers.

P.S. I really have some long-term mess-up with my Google/blogger accounts and can't easily post through them, so I am sending this reply directly to you and you have my permission to post this if you wish to do so.
