I can chart the course of your star like a dirty hand in glove

To quote pythia_akrypta: Dear baby jeebus in a tortilla.

I do not read the New Haven Advocate. But as I see from their notice for my poetry reading tomorrow (thank you, Katherine!), they certainly seem to know who I am:

"Hey, why don't you come back to my hotel room and 'read some poetry?'" Savvy business move or shameless proposition? Whatever the case, it worked for Yale PhD candidate Sonya Taaffe, whose hotel-lobby query to a publisher led to a steamy night of reading, and a deal for publication.

Approximately 75% of that story is true. Wow. I feel like a 1930's film starlet.

People had better come to the reading after this!

What? Are you being stalked by Advocate..uh, advocates?

Anyway, it's pretty cool to score a write-up that specific before the thing even happens. Good for you.

Thanks! Not to mention a write-up that makes me sound like Lauren Bacall in To Have and Have Not . . .

Is that a distich in your pocket? Or are you just glad to see me?

Yeah that really is the best press ever.

And I can say that after the poetry reading, I'm the one that gets to go home with you ;)

[sovay]

Yeah, and sleep on the futon . . . : P

"a steamy night of reading" - priceless!

You had a sauna in your room?

No, but it was July and the dorms at Salve Regina have no air conditioning.

Huh. Well, I guess now I know where my career went wrong. *g* By the way, congrats on the recent publications!
