I often imagine I'm the only one who freaks about AWP. Ah well.
I am looking forward to hearing what the writers on my panel
have to say. Sydney Lea, Diane Thiel, Karen Kovacik, Steven
Reese . . . They'll all be reading from their translations
at 3:00 on Friday.
I hope Karen reads "Waiting for the Blondes"
from her Polish collection. Sydney will read some
of the Plume poems by Henri Michaux. Steven translated
the most amazing Cuban poet, Roberto Manzano,
who came to this country years ago for a visit
and has never been allowed to return.
And Diane and her husband will talk and read
from work by the Greek novelist, Alexis Stamatis . . .
