Holloway 9/30: Harryette Mullen
This is very exciting, people.
I'm teaching Sleeping with the Dictionary this fall - can't wait. Any chance this will be recorded?
ReplyDeleteThe Holloway reading is always recorded -- I can't say whether the lecture will be (though I hope it is!).
ReplyDeleteI taught Sleeping with the Dictionary a few years ago and it went over great, I thought.
