I have to say, Matthea Harvey was hugely charming and I love the title of the book Pity the Bathtub and its Forced Embrace of the Human Form. A lovely reading, and my husband accompanied me. I've also picked up a copy of Bang's Elegy to see how writing about passing might inform my own work regarding my grandfather.

Alex Lemon's book release party at Bryant Lake Bowl.

Hallelujah Blackout

Alex was an MFA student at the U of MN when I was an undergraduate. I remember seeing him coming out of class as I waited for my own (creative non-fiction, I believe) class to start. This is his second book (or third, if you also count chapbooks).
