Autumn
Yesterday, I went to Freeport, Maine to give a reading at the Stonecoast MFA program. Check out Autumn. Love the poetry tats!

I had a number of authentic Maine experiences including a lobster roll lunch. I missed out on the typical Maine weather. It was almost 60 degrees. The "2008" ice sculpture in front of the hotel was turning into slush.

Highlights included reading with Charles Martin, meeting Kelly Link (!!!) and Patricia Smith. I also reconnected with old buddies like Tim Seibels and Annie Finch. And how could I forget the student/faculty talent show-- complete with Saturday Night Live style skits, (think "America's Next Top Author.") Loved. It.

BTW, I took more pics, but I need someone from the program to email me and help me identify the photos.
