AWP Crushes

Aside from one panel (What's New in Jewish Poetry, which, incidentally, was breathtaking), I made it a point to do two things while at AWP: 1) Attend readings, and 2) Write.

And the writing was prolific, principally because of my new (or continued) crushes on just some of the following writers I heard while in Atlanta:

• Ilya Kaminsky
  
• Jason Schneiderman
• Kevin Brockmeier
  
• Steve Gehrke
• Brenda Miller
• Robin Becker
• Ander Monson

These, of course, are in addition to all you writers/bloggers I heard off-premesis. You know who you are, even if I remained annonymously in the background.

Writing a book. Ingredients: scraps of hair, synaptic gaps, talents unspeakable and time / time / time.
