To have a reading, even if it's "free" is still taking up time and a slot that could be better filled for poetry. I say No. Sorry; he seems "nice" enough.

My name is Adam Day, and I was recently the recipient of a 2010 Poetry Society of America National Chapbook Fellowship. The chapbook, Badger, Apocrypha, was chosen by James Tate and was published this March 3rd at a PSA event in New York at the City University of New York – Hunter College.

As I live close by, I of course would not require an honorarium, nor to be put up. I would be quite happy for the simple opportunity. I very much look forward to hearing from you. I am including a brief biographical note below, if it might be of help.
