I saw her at an AWP conference in New York a few years ago and she was a good reader for her own work. I have read a couple of her stories in the New Yorker, but I would like to get a collection. <br /><br />The gun control issue is very depressing, but I heard some apt analogies that make me think that there is hope. Someone on a news show was pointing out similarities between Mothers Against Drunk Driving, and the antismoking crowd. The anti-smoking group has made perhaps more headway against powerful forces than the mothers so far, but that doesn't mean MADD won't win in the end. I am a bit amused and bemused by the extent that smoking has become illegal in Santa Cruz. Now even UCSC declares itself to be a smokefree campus. I think it is a bit unfair to start such a program in the middle of the year--students should know what they are getting into. And as one of my friends points out, the smokers just go off and hide in the fields and forests, which is not the best thing in a drought year.seana grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03774794086733027289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276911630325008276.post-84115199045827807942014-06-13T05:49:05.495-05:002014-06-13T05:49:05.495-05:00well expressed about Emilio and the issue of the u...well expressed about Emilio and the issue of the ugliness of lack of gun control. <br /><br />do you think painters/artists can create the way they do because of the psychodelics in paint thinner?<br />just ask'n?<br /><br />being creative is ...such sweet sorrow.<br /><br />feliz semana que viene<br />Marcoantonio Arellano (Nene)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10713672589582754484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276911630325008276.post-41580886635900519122014-06-13T05:41:19.855-05:002014-06-13T05:41:19.855-05:00One of my favorite bumperstickers: "Wag more,...One of my favorite bumperstickers: "Wag more, bark less"Cathyhttp://cathydouglas.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276911630325008276.post-39256848099774096322014-06-12T23:40:09.119-05:002014-06-12T23:40:09.119-05:00Love the "Autobahn Society".

I can't keep up with the shootings because there ARE JUST SO MANY OF THEM, plus, I quit cable tv, and I'm listening to a really good audio book in the car instead of NPR. So I'm either in a fog or a bubble of denial, and I'm too broke to send Gabby more money. You, though, need to read "The Girl Who Saved the King of Sweden", and also, "The Storied Life of A.J. Fikrey." And I'm adding Lorrie Moore to the Must-Read list.Collagemamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03818246340865714754noreply@blogger.com
