Still reading a phenomenal manuscript of a book I hope to have the honor of reviewing some day. It's simply stunning!

Back from camping near Leadville, CO where I froze in a wet tent and then in a van without a sleeping bag or blanket or jacket. Lesson learned. Always bring a jacket when camping in Colorado! It was beautiful there: Twin Lakes!!!

I am working on building community in my own way, mostly doing these reviews. It's good because it gets me reading other people's poems and novels and gets me out of myself, which is good. I am feeling good these days, better than I've felt in many years.

Still waiting to hear back from U. of Arizona Press and nervous about that, but all I can do is keep on reading and writing and do the best that I can.
