Comment on Jumpa Lahiri & Juno Diaz in a Fistfight? by Curry

Positivity goes a long way. Support, feedback, encouragement…. Writing is not something for the lighthearted. And as a side note, Jumpa Lahiri is fantastic!

I hope your trip goes well. I’ve not actually registered with the conference, so my days will be spent primarily drifting around. It should be a good trip.

Caleb, this is super, not least because the panelists, yourself included, were just as engaged, focused, and lively as your intro suggests. Thanks for putting this up.

And if I can help you from TOC next week (http://ow.ly/3RRTj), just holler, I’ll be tweeting the conference sessions from it in New York ( @Porter_Anderson tweeting from #toccon ). That’s the 15th and 16th of February, Tuesday and Wednesday.

Timely record of a great panel, thanks again, Caleb!

Comment on Panel Recap – F164. The Future of Book Publishing: How Authors Should Navigate the New Market. by Todd B. Stevens

Todd B. Stevens — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 06:27:19 +0000

Nice summary, Caleb. You took the meat out of the panel, I think. This was another that I couldn’t get to, though I think this may have been one I abandoned for Cowboy poetry ’cause I’d had enough.

I think there is a point at AWP where we give up the meta, and just want to hear something pretty.

I’m thinking of putting up a panel next year in Washington, on how MFA students, others, can self-promote through blogs etc… any interest from our blog contributers?

BTW I’ve talked to some strangely different people that are talking about this blog. I think we all were handing out the url.

Comment on (Introduction) Panel Recap – F219 A Rattle Reading: Cowboy & Western Poetry by Todd B. Stevens

Todd B. Stevens — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 18:16:25 +0000

Well, as far as I know, it is a frequent panel, though this was my first AWP I’m fairly sure they are having a similar one in Washington, and last I remember, few cows there! Only donkeys and elephants…

I believe there were two panels actually, this one was the people that contributed to Rattle’s cowboy poetry issue. If you are interested in the genre you might check out http://www.rattle.com/current.htm Rattle does some gret genre issues, and hearing the panel, picked some fantastic poets.

Cheers!
