It's ok with me. I think cris' principle of main stage and sidebars such as this is a good one.

great . i guess . i love Nick's work

although i'll say my usual stuff about  the crammed appearance of the formal program . . those events both we and students are strongly encouraged to attend

i wonder if it's not time to consider running a "formal program" (the staged readings in the stagey places) and something else that happens under slightly different circumstances??

Nick Demske, a young poet who came to post_moot and gave a much-appreciated reading at the after-hours event, would like to come read next semester for free. He has a new book out from Fence. I haven't read the book but enjoyed his reading greatly and like him very much, and the students loved him. He's willing to come for free. It would be Sept 19, a Monday. That's the week following the John Matthias reading. What are your thoughts? Thanks all. Cathy
