My thanks to my friend
Anne Sampson for snapping photos from my
reading in Roanoke this past Friday, and thus providing evidence that it actually happened, hee, and that there were even people there! I read a couple short bits from
Unseaming, as well as my poem “
The Journey to Kailash,” and later participated in the open mic, something I haven’t done in a while.
For folks in my hometown who missed it - but weren’t deliberately skipping it - there will be another chance. My next reading in Roanoke is scheduled for 6 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 28 (appropriately close to Halloween) at the newly renovated main library branch downtown. And by then
Unseaming will actually be available for sale.
Note how the Hollins M.F.A. students make sure there’s a safety barrier between themselves and the horror writer.
