Spring 2006 readings...
Paul beat me to the punch, and so you can get the full story on Meacham from him. But the short version is that it's March 30-April 1.
Come hear me read, and see what happens when a new mom steps up to a podium with a baby hanging from her chest. Will the baby cry? Will the mic squeal? Will the audience be totally charmed by the adorable baby and so not notice that the poet is incredibly nervous? Anything's possible!
A lot is still up in the air for this spring, but some of my dates are gelling. Here's an incomplete list, and I'll update this as we go... but for now:
March 21, Good Day Atlanta (though this is NOT quite a reading), ATL
March 23, Emory University, ATL
March 31-1, Meacham Writers' Conference, Chattanooga
April 8, A Capella Books, ATL
April 17th, UPENN Hillel, Philly
May 4, Prairie Lights (with Margaret Schwartz, Thisbe Nissen, Lee Klein), Iowa City
May 19, Book Expo America (signing), DC
June 22, 92nd St Y (with Jeff Sharlet, Katharine Weber, Rebecca Wolff), NYC
July 7, Collin Kelly's Series, ATL
September 1-3, Decatur Book Festival, ATL
I'm still looking for readings (for Half/Life) in Baltimore, DC, Chicago, Minneapolis, St. Louis, NY (outside Manhattan), Jersey ... basically anywhere close to the readings already in place... where there's a sizeable Jewish community. Schools, Temples, Bookstores, Bars, whatev. PLEASE backchannel if you have a thought!

Awesome. (Congrats!) Those dates are thick enough that I believe we can call it an American tour. Nice one. T-shirts?
Write, ye JewishyIrishy team. We'll read.

Hey Laurel...again, if you have any interest in the DCJCC or the Jewish High School where I teach, let me know. Our second child is literally due today, so if I can't help you, I'll find someone who can. Simply email me if you like. And if not, good luck with the tour. Exciting, eh?
Well I am moving from here so the last reading at Books and Books for MiPO is in May - the Friday night before the cruise but when I move to Illinois and set up my readings up there, then you can go there too.

Wowsers...that's a hell of a schedule! Congrats. Can't wait to have you at Portfolio Center!
