I was proud to read with Eloise Klein Healy at Antelope Valley College last week in Lancaster, California. Thanks to poet and professor Charles Hood for organizing the nice event and for introducing me to his wonderful poetry students. I'm glad to have a small break from the road until the AAAS reading on April 18 in Chicago.

I am looking forward to late nights with new publications: Oranges and Sardines, the Latino Poetry Review, and a new Asian-American literary journal, the Kartika Review. Congratulations to the editors.
