Goodbye, contact lenses! Hello, glasses! I'm now wearing frames very similar to these. I haven't worn glasses since high school. Nerd power!
*
Starting to plan my move to Bucknell University. I will be flying down there in the middle of August. I don't have to worry about housing since the residency comes with a fully furnished two bedroom apartment.
*
Once again: thank you thank you thank you to my poems for housing and feeding me.
*
Mini-interview: Sean Hill. Love that photograph, Sean!
*
My frames are still a bit too large. They keep sliding down my nose. Will have to go back for another fitting.
*
Don't you hate it when bloggers brag about acceptances? I will have a poem in the third edition of this anthology.

Congratulations on the anthology inclusion.
You should change your blog photo. I think we all want to see one of you with your new glasses
I concur with Javier. New photo please! I'm proud of you for joining the ranks of the nerds. Being a nerd myself, librarian sect, I encourage you to brace your nerd. Celebrate it. Be the nerd.
While glasses are optional for the more experienced nerd, I find them an ideal device for those just coming out as a nerd.
And, dude, way to go on the anthology!

That's quite an anthology to brag about, E.
So post your pic with glasses!
Hey, Prof. Aldama! I remember he did a kick ass presentation on geography for me and my Latino Graduate Students Association peeps. Wassup?
I also remember Ohio State rejected my brown butt!

Congrats on both, Eduardo! I have dry eye and can't wear contacts, so I'm jealous. :)
BTW, how does one go about being considered for an anthology? Are there calls for such things?
Congrats on the anthology and the glasses and the residencies, Eduardo. Don't forget about us little people burning up in the lovely desert, eh?!
Best,
Simmons
Hi, Eduardo,
My old friend Pam(ela) Leri was a Philip Roth resident at Bucknell in the early 90s, 93 or 94, I think, just after we parted ways at Iowa. Just in case people carve their names on walls. She liked her time there. Good luck. And congratulations on the Vendler anthology. And yes, post new pic with glasses!
Do you miss last summer? I'm going again week after next.
Jill
