Leopards break into the temple and drink to the dregs
what is in the sacrificial pitcher; this is repeated
over and over again; finally it can be calculated
in advance, and it becomes a part of the ceremony.
- Franz Kafka

NEWS
• A poem from my manuscript, Where You There the Night the Hot Chick Slow Danced with the B-Teamer (and Everyone Gasped)?, was recently published in H_NGM_N.
• A poem from Prayer Book was recently published in DIAGRAM.
MISCELLANY
• Writers Night Out at Grumpy's Bar and Grill, downtown location, was great. Never expected an MPR reporter to be working our collected tables. Nice work organizing it, Frank Bures. I like the "let's do this one a month" idea that bandied about.
• Great event: Rain Taxi & the Poetry Society of American teamed up to present a reading (Antler, Marvin Bell, Robert Bly, Heid Erdich, Ray Gonzalez, Mary Kinzie, Jim Moore, Thylias Moss) and panel (Dobby Gibson, Sarah Fox, G.E. Patterson, Sun Yung Shin, Michael Walsh, Bryan Thao Worra) on Midwestern (?) poetry. Definitions and impressions of Midwesterness aside, it was an event great enough to make a fellow click his heels together and say, "There's no place like home, there's no place like home, there's no place like home."
• Picked up Paula Cisewski's Ghost Fargo at her book launch. I recommend you do the same. What a great book.
• Read Alexandra Teague's book, Mortal Geography, in the time it takes to fly from Denver to Mpls. Finished it, then ordered my own copy so I could read it a second time.
• A poem from Prayer Book was recently published in DIAGRAM.
