AWP Aftermath

I love going to AWP. I love it because:
1. I see all of my greatest writer friends and the greatest writers I admire.
2. I buy lots and lots of poetry books (thank goodness they're skinny)
3. I almost always get a jump-start on my own writing.
4. I love cooking at home after eating out for 5 days.
5. I get very big smiles from a happy baby upon my return.

I have now drafted many many poems, and some will live, and others will fade
away.
