Mary, that reading and the anthology sound amazing. I am sorry I have a conflict Monday night:( And also, you are right--not funny to laugh about what's happening in Southern California right now to people in brown bodies. And another also, this does help: “When you reach a place where you feel blocked, lower your standards and keep on going. There is no possible way to do permanent damage to a piece of writing. You cannot ruin it. You can only make it a little better a little at a time.”

Looking forward to your reading, Mary. I’m expressing some of the same feelings about being brown in So Cal in my post tomorrow.
