AWP Reader’s List

AWP Chicago edition has posted on their website a list of featured readers for the event which will be held in early February.

It’s a solid list.  I wish there were more young up-and-coming type writers but still I hope to engage in a wild party with Nick Flynn and Valzhyna Mort (pictured) while Marilynne Robinson makes disgusted faces.

AWP will be a big scene for online writers who will no doubt stare at each other awkwardly after meeting in person.  Then realize we are all best friends.  Get tickets soon.  Last year in NYC it sold out.

      every time somebody pretends “factory of tears” is a good book an angel loses its wings. those wings are then eaten by franz wright, who gains infernal power from them.
