You can hear me on the offsite panel organized by the London Review of Books, at Ryan’s Pub, 1410 Nicollet, 3pm Thursday. I’ll be honored to join J. Robert Lennon, Leslie Jamison, Christian Lorentzen and Emily Cooke.

You can hear me read poems at the Minnesota Expat Reading sponsored by Rain Taxi at the Walker Art Center at 6:30pm (both events are free and do not require AWP badges).I’ll be reading from my brand-new chapbook, All-Season Stephanie, as well as from various full-length books of poems.

If you are coming to the convention itself (i.e. if you have a badge) please do come to our Friday morning panel (at 9am) on conflicts of interest in book reviewing, with Eric Lorberer of Rain Taxi, Karen Long of the Anisfield-Wolf Book Awards (late of the Cleveland Plain Dealer), Rusty Morrison of Omnidawn Press, and the fiction writer Brian Evenson.

I’ll be signing All-Season Stephanie at the Rain Taxi booth in the exhibit hall Friday at 10:30am, after our panel concludes.

Here (as promised) are all the slides (as a PDF) and most of the reading list, from the Violet Fairy Book to Rachel Pollack and Carla Speed McNeil. Let us know what we should add if we give it again! If you’re having trouble downloading it from this site, try Rachel’s.

(Also, Philly Trans Health is great. It’s only intermittently about literature and culture; it is entirely about how to help trans and genderqueer and gender-variant people lead and repair and improve our lives. If that’s an interest of yours– whether or not you identify as trans* yourself– consider attending in 2015; and if you are reading this page because you were at the conference, don’t forget to check out the trans and genderqueer poets in Troubling the Line.)

I will be reading my own poetry (poems about gender; some brand-new ones, too) along with the novelist Rachel Gold, who will be reading from her cool trans-themed YA novels (either the one that’s out now or the one coming soon.

Later that same day we will be talking about trans* and gender-variant characters– and whole invented societies– in science fiction and fantasy. (If you have suggestions about sf, it’s not too late to send them in; special gift coming your way if you can find the author recently known as Raphael Carter.) See a few of you there?

On Wednesday Nov. 13 I’ll be at Western Washington University in Bellingham.

Thursday Nov. 14 I shall be the grateful guest of Whitman College in Walla Walla.

And on Friday Nov. 15 the tour wraps up with a critical talk, “The Nearly Baroque in Contemporary Poetry,” at 6pm at the University of Washington Seattle as a guest of its English Department in Humanities Center 35. Perhaps I’ll see a few of you there!
