one of my former profs at SFSU [who shall remain nameless] once told maggie right before we started seeing each other "she can be a bit worshipful." and it is true. i can be. only... it really is a diction-related worshipful.
i'm telling you this because i went to see both of kate greenstreet's readings in the bay area this week & i can tell you that i am JUSTIFIABLY WORSHIPFUL of kate greentreet's work... and kate, too... and her husband max....
i will defend myself later ... i just realized i left kate's book at home... but i can tell you that i am not alone. i haven't seen a wait for books to be signed as long as kate's in a many months now. i had to wait thirty minutes to say hello to her last night... she's a popular lady.

i had a dream yesterday morning that E. Tracy Grinnell was now doing backgrounds for cartoons.
i can't explain this.
***
how was SPT last next?
next week it is suzanne stein & jack kimball!
***
o, yes, i also wanted to say that i am forever amazed by jessica smith & her curations... such lovely little books! i'm so happy to spend money on them!

announcements & plans & information
last night we saw laynie browne read in Berkeley & it was great. her new book, Daily Sonnets, is fucking awesome. i mean, really awesome. and i think you should all buy a copy now. we *both* love it... so i'm not even being all excited because i think laynie is such a great person... it's just really that great. [i have a fondness for sound / mis translations & a child's way of thinking]. so, there's that.
