Thinking about how AWP raises the bottom, lowers the top, exalts the middle. It preaches that everyone can write, and diffuses standards to make that true. But, all in all, it feels beneficial. Fourteen thousand came to Tampa to testify to that. I’ve already been invited to read in Portland next year. Missed an offer of a date (a member of the audience for my reading) by not checking in email in a timely fashion.

Attended Ned’s outstanding organ recital at First Methodist. Ned’s touch is dry and clear, very much to my temperament.
