"...The sky/ never fills with any/ leftover flying."

This photo is from a few days before the book launch last month, at the home of Dobby and Kathy Gibson. Dobby caught the signing of my very first copy -- which is wonderful since I hate and avoid photos, then later wish I had more than memory as documentation of...everything.
I can't stand seeing photos of myself either. But I allow them anyway, because twenty years from now my brain will be completely empty and without the photos I'll have no inkling whatsoever of what I had done way back in the day.
Paula Cisewski is, among other things, the author of the books listed below and a co-founder of JoyFace Poetry & Arts Collective. She is serving as the 2013 host of the Banfill-Locke Reading Series.

You know I'm going to have to steal that jacket if I ever see it in person, right? Just so we're clear.
We'll see who gets to it first, Katy dear.
And my how it looks good with that book cover!

Dear President,
Exactly. And may I say what an honor it is to have such a dignitary gracing my little weblog.
Dear Jacket Fans,
Thank you. It is a very fine $2.95 Unique Thrift Store score. I will keep my eyes peeled on future thrifting missions.
