I'll be teaching my craft class "Ending it All" at Hugo House in Seattle, before my reading at the Elliott Bay Book Company that evening. See more, or register for the class, here.

I'm thrilled to be reading at Powell's... Please note that this is the Hawthorne location, on the east side of town.

I'll be reading at the legendary Politics and Prose alongside Lisa Gornick, author of A Private Sorcery.

I'll be teaching a class for high school writers at the Howe Library in Hanover, New Hampshire. Please contact the library for details!

As part of New England Review's reading series, I'll be at Carol's Hungry Mind Cafe in Middlebury, VT along with poets Michael Coffey and Penelope Cray. Books will be for sale... More details on the Facebook event page.

I'll be reading at the Burlington branch of Phoenix Books along with Megan Mayhew Bergman, whose amazing collection Almost Famous Women will just be out in paperback.

At long last, I'll be home for the Chicago launch of Music for Wartime!

This is part of their Humanities Series (details to come).

This will be my big Chicago event for Music for Wartime -- wine, food, giveaways, etc. Even though it's one of my last events, I'm considering it my "launch party"...
