I'll be repping Copper Nickel at this not-to-be-missed:

How It Makes it Through: A (Practical) Literary Journal Panel
Saturday, April 24, 10:00 AM to Noon
@Tattered Cover LoDo, 1628 16th Street, Downtown Denver
Listen and learn as several esteemed literary journal editors recall the step-by-step process of a specific submission that ultimately made it into their journal, from the letter (or email) coming through the door, to the journal going out the door. The editors will also talk about the general process and state of affairs on their end, and give you new ways to look at this sometimes perplexing process of getting into print. Panelists include: Harrison Fletcher, MFA, editor of upstreet; Stephanie G'Schwind, editor of Colorado Review; Jake Adam York, editor of Copper Nickel.

I'll be discussing my work as part of a panel entitled "Giving Breath To Ghosts" on Saturday, April 10th, at 3pm as part of the 2010 AWP Conference here in Denver.

The official description of the panel:

A Chorus of Hauntings: Giving Breath to Ghosts. (Deborah Poe, Cole Swensen, Jake Adam York, Kate Greenstreet, Selah Saterstrom, Claudia Smith) This panel consists of fiction, poetry, and hybrid-genre writers whose literary work is deeply invested in meditations on ghosts and hauntings. The panel considers how writers negotiate history and human experience, illuminating what traces of violence, fragmented identity, collective guilt, memory, grief, and memorial mean for writing. This chorus of hauntings embodies the persistent presence of history as it asks difficult questions about lessons the "spirit world" might attempt to pass on.

I'll be hosting A Tribute to Craig Arnold as part of the 2010 AWP Conference here in Denver on Thursday, April 8th.

Readers will include Matthew Zapruder, Jenn Koiter, Alicia Stallings, Tarfia Faizullah, Nicky Beer, Jennifer Tonge, Nicole Walker, and Rebecca Lindenberg.

I'll be reading as part of Stars Are Symbols, a gallery show and performance showcasing poetry informed by astronomy, on Wednesday April 7, at 7:30pm at The Other Side Arts, 1644 Platte Street.
