henna day post

It is Henna Day, on a pleasantly warm day in L.A. (following a spate of hot weather). I think I'm having my usual post-WisCon slump, and massive allergies aren't helping.

I never did properly write up Wiscon, but it was so great to spend time with [personal profile] nwhepcat, [personal profile] oracne, [personal profile] skogkatt, [personal profile] cafenowhere and many others. The Open Secrets group reading (Lisa Bradley, Amal El-Mohtar, Gwynne Garfinkle, Nancy Hightower, Kathrin Köhler, Shira Lipkin, Alex Dally MacFarlane, Elizabeth R. McClellan, Julia Rios, S. Brackett Robertson, Sofia Samatar) was one of the best poetry readings of any kind I've ever participated in. And there was the amazing panel discussion on speculative poetry featuring [personal profile] tithenai, [personal profile] shadesong and Sofia Samatar, and the also amazing panel on the new Queers Dig Time Lords book of essays, and [community profile] papersky reading from her two upcoming novels, and far too much more for me to reconstruct at this point...
