Where In the World Is Lorna? Seattle Today: Open Books; Tieton Tomorrow: LitFuse: Master Class, Keynote Talk, Reading

I'm in Seattle today, getting ready to go present for a high school class; then a reading tonight at 7 for Open Books, Seattle's only all-poetry bookstore.

Tomorrow I'll be in tiny Tieton giving a Master Class: "Writing Down the Dead" and a keynote talk at the banquet, and a reading on sunday for the close of LitFuse, the second annual literary conference in the Yakima valley. I'll be joined by Michael Halperin, Jim Bodeen, Sam Green, Elizabeth Austin and others. Come on out! The master class is full, but, hey, come on out and talk; maybe we could work something out.

Where In the World Is Lorna? SF Today - 13th Heretical Consumer Research Performance

I'll be performing poetry for the 13th Heretical Consumer Research Performance gathering today in San Francisco where Basquiat meets Baudrillard in the dump, Beuys meets the Fortune 500 on the run and Frida will not appear this afternoon for lunch at noon at the B Restaurant, upper terrace of the Yerba Buena Gardens on Howard across from her inimitable much imitated display. It will be a heretical happening. (What ever will I wear?)

Actually, this is a very exciting happening. I'm worried because I'm having trouble with my ankle which I badly sprained last month. The tendon seem to be popping - or something - with excruciating pain and an inability to walk. I'm hoping it will be okay by then.

For their 14th, they ought to invite the found puppet genius, Liebe Wetzel and her Lunatique Fantastique.
