Okay, this is what happens when you hide from your own blog because it feels like a Sock Puppet Production. You end up with a list.
First off, I want to express my deep gratitude to Oregon Literary Arts for naming Zazen as a finalist for the Oregon Book Award Ken Kesey Prize for fiction.
They said I was a finalist for life so I might just chip that into the rock over my grave 80 years from now.
And I would like to announce that Zazen will finally appear in French! At some point in 2013 éditions Lot 49/ cherche midi will translate and release the book and I plan to be there to watch.
Because the foreign translations will be attached to the gravestone by a chain.
I start French lessons tomorrow.
And…I will be at AWP and reading in Chicago, reading in Portland, reading in Astoria, reading to myself in my room…more on all of it soon.
Sock puppet.
…and just because I felt the need for one more sock puppet to describe my internal process…
