Linda Christensen You are coming to Portland, OR in April for our Urban Sites Conference. I would love to talk with you before then. I've been using your poetry with my students since I first heard you speak in Boston at a conference over ten years ago. I am very excited that we were able to get you to "keynote" our conference. Thanks for coming. Linda Christensen

You are so right! I just spent a month with "Blood Dazzler" for a packet of my MFA work. From Katrina, to Ethel Freeman, to Luther B and his devoted person, to Bush, to the 34 who were left at St. Rita's, I was blown away by the variety of form and structure used to make the voices come alive, to live within me. I w...as blessed to hear Patrica Smith talk about and read her work during my Jan. residency... it was the first time I encountered her, and I know I won't let it be the last!Read More
