Enjoyed:
\nEllis Avery<\/a> reading from In Pieces<\/a> (Impassio Press<\/a>) and The Teahouse Fire<\/a>, Riverhead Books
\nInterview with the delightful Michael Cunningham<\/p>\n

Intrigued by:
\nPeter Plate<\/a>, auto-didact, squatter, user of big words, champion of the repressed and the self-published, wearer of sunglasses indoors
\nBooklyn style<\/a><\/p>\n

Bored by:
\nAcknowledgment that women’s panel is designated as women’s panel, while men’s panel is never designated as men’s panel
\nAcknowledgment that, yes, everything is political (how many times do we have to say this and what ever-lovin’ difference does it make?)<\/p>\n

Nevertheless idolizing:
\nAnne Waldman
\nEileen Myles<\/p>\n

Bought:
\nCarmen Dog, Carol Emshwiller, Small Beer Press<\/a>
\nNot Me, Eileen Myles<\/p>\n

Wish I’d bought:
\nVow to Poetry<\/a>, Anne Waldman, Coffee House Press
\nStroke by Stroke<\/a>, Henri Michaux, Archipelago Books
\nKalpa Imperial<\/a>, Ang\u00c3\u00a9lica Gorodischer, trans. Ursula K. LeGuin, Small Beer Press <\/p>\n

Spotted:
\nKaren Finley talking to Anne Waldman, felt like utter cabalistic cauldron stirring beginning of new universal making was happening<\/p>\n

Slightly depressed by:
\nJen Benka and Matthea Harvey reading their statements from the page like risk-averse beginners
\nCall by woman of color for women’s panel to be inclusive of women of color and poor women next year<\/p>\n

Inspired by:
\nMyles’s manic discussion of context for poetry, technology, and the post-literary
\nWaldman’s mention of “upaya” (skillful means) as masculine, and “praj\u00c3\u00b1\u00c4\u0081” as feminine energy, because I have special connection to these terms as mechanisms<\/p>\n

And a link:
\nThe Unknown Guest by Maurice Maeterlinck<\/a><\/p>\n
