Session 20
Of all the literary events sponsored by my graduate program in Las Cruces, NM, the fall benefit reading is one of my favorites. Proceeds from tickets sold for the event go directly to one of the local food banks. Last year’s event was excellent all around. It featured top-notch readings by Antonya Nelson and Robert Boswell, and it became a kind of homecoming event for alumni of the program.
While in Las Cruces, I also had the chance to record Tim Staley for Session 20. It’s great. Tim and I used to talk about writing during and after our weekly racquetball games in grad school. He’s an old friend and it’s an honor to have his reading included in the project.
Check out the bonus poem recorded in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park a week earlier at the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival.
