I'm in wonderful Chicago, Memphis Minnie land. I'll be at DePaul University tonight, April 15 at 7 pm, which is located in the heart of Lincoln Park, in Chicago, on Halsted and Fullerton Aves. The presentation will be in a building called the Schmidt Academic Center, at 2320 Kenmore St. in Room 254. Get your taxes in and come on down!
Tomorrow I'll be performing with Rigoberto Gonzalez at the Guild Complex:

She lives and teaches in San Francisco, California.

The recipient of Guggenheim and NEA fellowships, and of various international artist residencies, he writes a book column for the El Paso Times of Texas. He lives in New York City and is Associate Professor of English at Rutgers University/Newark.

Lorna Dee's new chapbook (a MANGO PUBLICATION) is BIRD AVE y New Mission Poems. Ladies and Gentlemen,it does not have a universal big brother bar code on it,so it also is without a spine. This makes it a perfect item for buying at live performances and getting the personalized autograph from Lorna Dee. The cover is intriguing with three young high school age girls (Mexicanas?) peering back at the viewer. This collection may alert all of us who have loved and tresured MANGO publications may be returning to a new schedule (I hope so).
I wish i knew about this sooner, i wish i woudl have been there im sure you did AMAZING preforming with Rigoberto.
Cheers,
Marissa
