Professor Berman,
If I'd come across this blog earlier, I definitely would have made it to San Francisco, since I only live an hour away. Alas, it's too late.
Do you ever make visits to UC Davis? :)
Sincerely,
Em
Dear Em,
I'll come to Davis if they invite me, but I'm guessing it's a long shot.
Meanwhile, you might be able to get CD's of the SF events from the Poetry Center at SFSU (Steve Dickison, director). I'll also post some stuff from the week on this blog, if I can get the links.
In any case, the poetry book will be out next year, and I'm hoping the collection of essays as well.
Thanks for writing-
