So I went to see Avatar (not for the first time) with a friend this evening (I know the story's sort of simple, but it's so damn gorgeous.) We were waiting for showtime when I spotted Faye Estrella coming toward us, having just gotten out of the previous showing. So I waved, said hi, and talked to her a little bit about the upcoming Dusty Owl (which will be both a launch for the Bywords Quarterly Journal and a celebration of Steve Sauvé's life: he died on the 17th of January last year.)
And she said, "Hey wait... you want to feature at Voices of Venus in February?" (She's one of the coordinators of the series, which is an all-women poetry series that started up just this year.)
So I said yes. And I'm going to be reading at VoV, on February 9th. I'm pretty sure this is my first ever feature. Gleep!
Luckily, I can't think of a better series than Voices of Venus to break out what I have so far of my Chasing Boudicca poem cycle.
