Traveling in Italy until end of August, but wanted to post some lovely photos of my recent trip to Siena. Also: I just got word that I’ll be presenting at the 2014 AWP Conference, in Seattle, on a panel called “The Art of the Book Review.” Thanks to Tony Leuzzi for all his hard work and patience in organizing the whole thing; I’m grateful to be on board. Finally, a fond thank you to John Domini for his faith and vision in organizing another wonderful panel proposal that, alas, did not get accepted. Thank you, John, for inviting me to be a part.
