on day two of awp (pre-benu press reception) (for eduardo c. corral)

i met with my publishers today and they are the nicest people. they have restored my faith in the world of publishing. i hope when i become mature im like them.

the reception is from 7-8:15 pm in Mineral Hall E, Hyatt Regency Denver, 3rd Floor. feel free to come, take some food and drink and then dash away. no-strings. but plenty of fats and femmes.

one of my old friends from syracuse has a new book from university of pittsburgh press. she was married when i knew her. weve talked several times over the years and she made references to a lesbian partner. i thought she was joking. today she stopped at the benu table and told me that she was with a woman and they have two kids. i didn't believe her, but then she showed me the pics. it freaked me out. i felt this need to say, i like you. why would you choose this lifestyle?
*
i signed books alongside suzanne frischkorn today for the writer's center. i really like her. she smelled nice too which made me like her even more.
*
i hope my suny brockport friend is less sick.

one of my students sent me an email telling me she got a really nice handwritten rejection letter from passages north. i was so proud of her. she wrote the essay in my class. i like to take credit for other peoples' accomplishments
