Goin' Down to Georgia

I will be away for the next four days, visiting family and participating in Albany State University's annual Poetry Festival, the brainchild of my friend doris davenport. Doris is one of my favorite poets (LSU Press, Madness like Morning Glories), and my very own Cabbage Sistah. She brings energy to anything with which she engages, so this should be a special event.
