While the perennial postcard fest is on the run, Im so glad and grateful to Denise Calvetti Michaels for having me read with her at Soul Food Books on 15th October. That was the fourth time I was featured, after having read at Whidbey Island, Auburn Good Old Days and Tacoma Distinguished Poets Series.

My interview with Mani Rao has been published in the Winter issue of Word, the newsletter of Washington Poets Association and here is the link :

There are newer accomplishments coming my way this year and I will let you know about it soon.
In the meanwhile, I am learning the craft of fiction at the University of Washington and believe me, my instructor Pam is so good at it. I really adore her style of delivery and simple ways of explaining complex subjects about the craft. It has all gotten into my writing these days and Im still improving :-). I can see how much of difference it has made to my scenes. How many rewrites it takes to transform a crappy scene to something memorable....if your guess is many, I am with you. Kudos to all the great poets and writers of our time.

Resolution for this year : I got to write atleast one hour everyday....this time I promise.
