Bigfoot for Women

Working working

Just checking in, saying hi. Had a remarkable time last week in Gambier, Ohio, working on new poems alongside Jay Brecker, Brian Cochran, Charles Douthat, Jean Harper, Joe Landi, Bonnie Naradzay, Linda Stryker, and Elizabeth Sylvia in David Baker’s workshop.

Moving backward, I visited Indiana University East in April as part of their regional writers series, which was so much fun. And Sharon Benzoni and I had a good time talking about Bigfoot on her show for WNHH New Haven in March; there’s a link to that interview here.

3. I’m doing a writing workshop about water next Sunday at Slater Mill, where the American Industrial Revolution began. Maybe you should come. Details here, email me at amypickworth [at] gmail [dot] com if you’re interested. You probably really should come, you know.

Bigfoot is born (and there’s a party to celebrate)

Tomorrow is November 1, the official release date, at which point Bigfoot officially exists. In an early endorsement, one reader writes, “It’s very hard to wrestle this book away from the baby. She senses that it brims with wit, pain, and identity questions, and she is unafraid.”

No cover, free parking, cash bar, 8 to 10 pm. I hope to see you there!
