Two things

I am leaving for Washington, DC in a hour.
On Thursday, February 3 at 4.30 pm I will at be at AWP on a panel called Understanding Comics as Creative Writing. I will show, through some of my work, what for me is the deepest connection between writing and images.
With me on the panel: John Dermot Woods, Matt Madden, Gary Sullivan and Joseph Young.

This is the "official" description of the panel:

While the critical study of comics has been fully embraced by English Literature departments, Creative Writing programs have been slower to create a place for the practice of comics in their own curricula. Similarly, independent literary presses rarely publish comics, leaving that work to comics-specific houses. This panel features teachers and practitioners of the medium who will discuss ways to open up the Creative Writing field to the practice of comics (and other image-text literature).

I received PANK 5 in the mail, with great work by Deb Olin Unferth, Jamie Iredell, J.A. Tyler, Troy Urquhart, Laura McCullough, xTx, Kyle Minor and many, many ohers.
I made the cover art. I also have a story in it.
