It's so hard to get to all of them. <br /><br />I'm so glad people are discussing authority in the classroom. Also, the persona poem panel seemed incredibly thoughtful, especially with probing into race. I wonder about that often. Could I write a poem from the voice of a person of color? Depends on who, I suppose. I don't know how I feel about it. It's good to know that others are exploring it thoughtfully.<br /><br />I also can't wait for Boston! :)Laura the Poethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06661063308918439389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3311201101178073119.post-43123997664836187482012-03-09T08:14:48.037-06:002012-03-09T08:14:48.037-06:00Thanks, Kathleen.

I just introduced her to the community college audience, where I host my monthly readings and they loved her book.<br /><br />I can also sympathize about trying to recover from such an enormous conference, in order to blog about it. I still haven't caught up enough from a recent writers conference (Desert Nights Rising Stars at Arizona State University, which was the week before AWP) to post about it. I'm such a slacker. But I think this blog post of yours is pushing me back into the right/productive direction.Shawnte Orionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00900779630992399799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3311201101178073119.post-22705486401836253492012-03-08T16:25:27.448-06:002012-03-08T16:25:27.448-06:00Oliver, thanks for the note.

And you're right about Quan Barry. Her work slays me. She's should be getting more accolades. Finally, it was an utter tragedy that I didn't get a chance to really chat with you. I was so busy putting out small fires for AWP. I hope you had a good time in Chicago.Oliver de la Pazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14708989542004589056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3311201101178073119.post-61075151897026486302012-03-08T14:10:10.166-06:002012-03-08T14:10:10.166-06:00Thanks, Molly!

What you said about carrying Quan Barry's voice with you resonated with me. I love to hear poets read their work for this very reason -- so I can "hear" their work in their voice when I'm reading it at home.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03597990526818589453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3311201101178073119.post-42206446306020065822012-03-08T13:06:47.095-06:002012-03-08T13:06:47.095-06:00Aw.
