It will be swell!

This is a link to an audio recording of the reading Tim Armentrout and I did last night as part of the Chicago Calling Arts Festival (still ongoing!). We read The Earth Is What Happens, the chapbook we wrote together for the festival. Tim did his part all the way from West Virginia--via phone. That's why the photo has me holding my phone up in the air.
Thanks to Dan Godston, Larry Sawyer and Tim for a great event!
