NOLA after 4.
On the occasion of Katrina's anniversary, Guernica: A Magazine of Art & Politics, asked me to guest-edit this month's issue, to show what's on the minds of writers, artists, and students four years after the levees broke.

Send-Off Salon.
The good thing that was Studio at Colton (part of Creative Alliance New Orleans - CANO) at Colton High School on St. Claude is coming to an end long before its time, because the Recovery School District wants to use the 100,000 sf high school again as a high school. Room 220 - the brainchild of Anne Gisleson and Press Street, and a place we co-founded - is to be no more. We're having a reading this Wednesday at 7 p.m., sponsored by Poets & Writers (thank you PW!), so come by to listen and enjoy a drink, a snack, a laugh, shed a tear. What a quiet and productive space it was. I'm reading new work, and I'll be joined by some of Room 220's writers: Constance Adler, Seth Siegel, Moose Jackson, Chris Lane, & Margot Douaihy. Look for the big brick high school at 2300 St. Claude and come up to the second floor.
Story of the Week.
Alicia Gifford's story, Afterlife, is up this week on Narrative and it kicks ass. The ending's a thing of beauty.

Winding Up or Down?
It's been two years since my first book's publication date (MacAdam/Cage, June 2005) so I don't check the Amazon listing as often. This morning I'm in the low 200,000s, so someone must've bought the paperback recently. Thank you someone! The hardcover's listing is in the, like, 1.2 millions, which makes me want to order a few copies of my own book. Get a first edition while they're still warm! My publisher Kindled me (without telling me) and I've been discounted, so you can buy Famous Fathers & Other Stories for the cost of an unfancy coffee and a blueberry muffin. I downloaded myself onto my Kindle, just to have the book close by. The device is expensive, but there are so many classic books in the public domain, and it's nice to have your own bookshelf right there in your purse. I'm reading Madame Bovary as soon as I stop this first blog entry. After that, Tom Sawyer, then Little Women. Happy Summer.
