Sometimes poetry really is the best thing. Thank you Texas Book Festival & Austin Lit Crawl 2017. & thank you poets. Thank you to Morgan Parker (There Are More Beautiful Things Than Beyoncé) who said in our morning reading event, “I need to see one beautiful thing every day.” This was a beautiful day. 

Also part of the morning event were fantastic poets Derrick Harriell (Stripper in Wonderland) and John Andrews (Colin is Changing His Name), whom I also got to hang out with after the reading and the signing. 

The photos in this post are mainly from the evening events at Stay Gold—part of Austin Lit Crawl. The event I did was with Eileen Myles, Erika L. Sánchez, Ryan Sharp, and Matthew Zapruder (what a lineup!!). This was “Oracular Spectacular,” in which we performed as “poet-oracles,” answering audience member questions. Questions such as, “How likely is an asteroid to hit the earth?” Or, “What happens when you fart on the Blarney Stone?” Or, “How will this night end?” Then I got to see Tomás Q. Morín read from his stunning second book (Patient Zero) in a Chicon Street Poets event. 

Oh also my book sold out at the festival!! Folks were buying the extra author copies I had on me. Thanks to everyone who got one & came by to get it signed & thanks to the teachers who brought their students!
