This is the season of giving, and there are so many folks giving their words in readings this month! There are also holiday writerly gatherings to attend. I do hope to see you at one or more of these lovely events--particularly, of course, the reading I myself am giving at Why There Are Words in Sausalito this coming Thursday, 12/8--details below!
