The first reading of Eve is behind me.  Such a grand evening replete with old and new friends.  Marvelous questions.  Wonderful audience.  If you look closely at the background in the picture, that’s one of my friend’s books tucked in there at shoulder height–the light blue and yellow book–Deborah Keenan’s Willow Room, Green Door: New and Selected Poems.  How great is that?

If you are a writer, wishing to be published someday, I wish for you a reading like this.  I wish for you loving and supporting people who will blow wind in your sails, then applaud you when you reach the finish line.

In closing, here’s our little one, posing in front of Mama’s shiny poster in the window of Magers & Quinn.  Such a ham!
