Just got back from the AWP Conference yesterday, four days of poetry. This was in Tampa. I had a minor accident in the rental car a couple of blocks from the conference which shook me up. Other than that the conference experience was aces. Of particular interest to me is that I met Dorothea Lasky, a favorite poet. She's really crazy funny in person, so nice and quirky. Her poetry is real dark, so this is very interesting.

I had been considering dropping out of the MFA program due to bang for the buck considerations and this was stopping up my poetry flow. I finally got to the point where I decided I want to continue and the poetry came flowing back. Ha, ha. Poets are crazy now.
