4. Echo 681- ed. Jessica Pompei, Holaday Mason, Sarah Maclay
Beyone Baroque Books



After reading at the PRB, when it was still at The Smell in Downtown LA, J.M. told me that when F.D. found out I was reading in LA, he got a little pissed off, in his mind, I should have been reading at BB in Venice. This was all very confusing, I had only corresponded with F.D. briefly before and after B.H.'s book Vigilance was published, mostly about mine and B.H.'s "a discussion with" that was to be published in Vigilance. I was flattered by F.D.'s unexpected sense of propriety, I didn't understand it, but it made me feel wanted, like I was finally a part of a broader literary geography, one that extend outside the Bay Area.
