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.
