I didn't word this very well and can't edit--I have a book coming out in February. I sure would love to join a reading at AWP somewhere! I'm not well known but it's a book I'm proud of!

That's what I did in grad school just a few years ago (granted, this was an MFA program). Tons of reading and then seminars. And a book a week as an English major in undergrad, too. College students should be reading!

Thank you, yes. As a (blue) Texan I have been arguing with people all morning about this and it's exhausting.
