Thanks! I blew off David Lehman last night (because I suck), but I do hope to make it to Gluck's reading. I'm not nearly as familiar with her work as I should be, and if I'm smart I'll buy and read Averno this weekend just to prepare myself -- but I never claimed to be that smart, so don't hold your breath on me being prepared. ;)

Lehman's reading on Friday too, but then, so are you :)

(I was not bowled over by Averno, but I think everything pales compared to Wild Iris.)

Yeah, it's a drag that I'll miss Lehman (and that a lot of people will go see him rather than come to the Spoon -- thank goodness it only takes about 10 people to make the Spoon feel reasonably crowded) but oh well! Someone should go to his Friday thing and take notes for me. :)

Lehman and Gluck? They're both great! Is Lehman also at 5:00pm in Frangipani Room? Did you know that "Frangipani" is Italian for "tortellini"?

WHAT

Thank you so much! I would never have known and I have a deep and unabiding love for her work.

Yeah, she's dreamy. I heard about it and wrote it in my planner months ago, and had to dig through the IUB site to find the time/place.

Thanks for posting this. She's wonderful.

My flight lands in Indy at 4:40 and I can't catch the shuttle until 6:40 and can't find anyone to pick me up...Why couldn't I have learned about this sooner?!

Guh! Aren't there Big Name Poets all over the place out there in La-La Land?

I'll tell you all about it at Pizza Night ;p

noted.
even me, a non-poet, knows of her work.
cool.

[beatnik_a_go_go]

Yeah, it should be a packed house. She's more popular (and I think a little more accessible) than some recent poets laureate.
