Thanks to Fran, the gallery and those who helped organize today’s reading.  Was lovely to be surrounded by art for a reading – the photographs of the tattoo art on display were quite phenomenal.  Brilliant work from Nomi Chi, Joel Rich and others.  Great to read alongside JD Morden and Timothy Shay – and I appreciated the chance to write towards the art.  A task, to be sure, but good to be challenged and dragged out of the comfort zone.  Whatever that is.
