FANTASTIC CARYATIDS AND MORE!

Wow. What a fabulous conversation between Anne Waldman and Vincent Katz in Fantastic Caryatids (BlazeVOX Books, 2016). If you had been with them, you’d want to pick up lunch for the sheer pleasure of their words and insights. And that's such a wonderful book cover, too!

Speaking of publications, here's my latest Relished W(h)ines update of recently imbibed books and wines.  As ever, please note that in the Publications section, if you see an asterisk before the title, that means a review copy is available for Galatea Resurrects!  More info on that HERE.
