Cacciatore

So I'd hoped to make a delicious dinner for my valentine yesterday, but instead she was craving a good burger, so we did take-out, which means that tonight I get to cook dinner. I'm going to make this Chicken Cacciatore recipe. I hope it's as good as it sounds.

Very sad to hear of the passing of Lucille Clifton. I've read only, I must admit, her anthologized work, but I will be visiting the rest of her poems soon.

Today I'm prepping to teach Alison Stine's Ohio Violence to my advanced poetry writing students tomorrow. I'm psyched to teach this book. I've championed it since it came out, and I hope to continue to do so. I highly recommend it. Go read it!

I'm also trying to finish a sequence of poems I've been working on since summer.... It's only four poems long, but each poem is 2-3 pages of long-lined craziness, so it's been a lot of writing. I'm excited to see them side by side by side by side.

I don't think I've shared this with you: Ancora Imparo. It's a great new e-journal run by my favorite person/poet Amy Newman.

I'm excited to announce that I'll be reading on April 8, 2010 at 7:00pm in Denver, CO (during the AWP Conference) as part of the BLOOF BOOKS/COOPER DILLON/NOEMI PRESS party. Check it out and come by to say hello and see some great poets!
