I wish I could attend but my agent and editors are going to send a hit man after me if I don't get this book in next week.
Have fun, our dear old Poet Laureate!
I'm never jealous of anything, but this brings me mighty close..oh, to be amongst the poets!!
Enjoy, and keep us posted..thanks!!
Wish I could be there also. I will be in Asheville next weekend for the Book Fair sponsored by the Candy Maier Scholarship Foundation.
Our "old" poet Laureate looks mighty young to me.
Sounds like a fabulous event. I wish I lived closer. We need more things of this nature near Wilmington.
Old Poet Laureate...how about previous instead of old? You aren't THAT old :)
I "tweeted" this! :) Wish my poet friends from Louisiana were here.
Yes, former or previous Poet Laureate.
So many events. But one of these days I'm going to meet you.
Love,
Helen Losse
