broadcraft press, publisher of The Superior Life, sponsored a table at the Rain Taxi Twin Cities Book Festival last Saturday, October 12th. It was a special time--the energy of art all around, and its generators, the wonderful readers and writers. BCP's Kate Shuknecht and Meghan-Maloney-Vinz greeted me when I arrived to sit with all their beautiful hand made books--then Deborah Keenan, my adviser and ever-a-mentor, with her gorgeous, new broadcraft press book of prompts, From Tiger to Prayer and Jen March, selling her stunning broadcraft book of poems, Swim. Julia Jenson and Meg Masterson, who were part of the BCP four when my book came to life, came by, too, along with many others! I planned on staying an hour and was there for four! And this, without hearing any of the fabulous readings and speakers. So, I'm marking my calendar for next year!
I'm also excited and proud to announce that, as of today, The Superior Life is available at Common Good Books on Snelling Avenue, near Macalester in Saint Paul!!
Just a side note about my day at the fair: the highlight of all this was a story told me by Meghan, about her neighbor who teaches Environmental Studies at a nearby college. Apparently he carries The Superior Life in his cargo pant pocket when taking students on hikes and reads them poems from The Superior Life. To me this is mind-blowing, beyond what I could hope and wish for my little book. But I do know that white pine needles for book markers belong in these pages.
