I just wanted to send an e-shout out to the very fine folks of Rochester, NY (especially Kitty Jospe, Donna Marbach, John Roche, Tom Holmes, Ann Putnam and all the members of the Just Poets group) for hosting me and helping celebrate the release of "Pure Elysium." I had a great time! Your generosity and enthusiasm are truly inspiring. I'd also like to thank the guy at the airport who ran after me and gave me the boarding pass I'd dropped, and airport security for not tasing me after I packed entirely too much liquid into my carry-on bag.
