Wow, what a great conference. I was really hoping that I could post a lot during the conference but I overestimated the capabilities of my “smartphone.” Oh well, now I know not to trust modern technology. I’ll upload the videos from AWP that I took. One is Patricia Smith from the WILLA reading, which included roller derby girls, a burlesque troop, and some of the best female readers I heard during the conference. That reading was the most exciting reading that I attended the entire conference.

The other two are of Abe Smith, (no relation) who I heard read twice: once at the Thin Man and once at the Plus Gallery. I’m going to keep posting after this to give short reviews of the books that I got at the book fair. I’ll post those as I finish them.

Enjoy the videos!
