Learning to dance at my age has been a beautiful and strange process, which I consider in a new essay in the October issue of Columbus Monthly magazine–and which I will read aloud on Saturday, September 29 at 5:30 PM at the dance studio where I study . . . after which you can see a reprise performance of “ The Things That I Knew,” the contemporary dance piece choreographed by Russell Lepley (originally for BalletMet dancers), in which I danced last July–and then pick up a signed copy of one my books, proceeds benefiting the FluxFlow Dance Project.)

Learning to dance at my age has been a beautiful and strange process, which I consider in a new essay in the October issue of Columbus Monthly magazine. (And if you’re in Columbus, Ohio on Saturday, September 29 at 5:30 PM, you can come round to the dance studio where I study and hear me read the essay . . . and then see a reprise performance of “ That I Knew,” the contemporary dance piece choreographed by Russell Lepley (originally for BalletMet dancers), in which I danced last July–and pick up a signed copy of one my books, proceeds benefiting the FluxFlow Dance Project.)

I’m moderating a panel on “writing under the gun” (not a real gun but a contract) on Friday, February 10 at noon (panelists are a few of my favorite people on earth: Scott Raab, Nick White, and Mike Kardos…and one more writer TBA soon) and on Thursday, February 9 at 3 PM, I’m also moderating and putting my two cents in on a panel on mothers writing about their daughters and daughters writing about their mothers (I do both, OK? ) where some of the most interesting daughter-writers–Meghan Daum and Cade Leebron– I know will be putting their own two cents in along with some of the most interesting mother-writers–Kathryn Rhett and Maggie Smith– I know (bonus point for Kathryn and Cade, a mother-daughter team).
