It used to be I would take the day off for a reading, lying in my tub all afternoon getting ready.
I pretty much did that today, I think because I'm going to read tonight from my new book, which is really my first book (republished with 115 annotations & other material). It was nice to feel like I had all the time in the world for a day, & it was a good bath, & I edited the hell out of my new poems. I'm ready & looking forward to being onstage at the Bowery Poetry Club, hosted by old friends, with an audience full of old friends & hopefully a few new ones.
