hi! i forgot i had this fun thing, because i was so busy with school. i finished my paper for my black music class! i'm not terribly happy with it but some day i might revisit it and improve it. but you are welcome to read it sometime if you like, i got a 4.0 in the class, so that should mean the prof. liked it okay.

how are you?? its been forever and a day since i've seen/heard from you!

Qwo,
I'd love to know if you're planning on doing any traveling through the St. Louis area in the next year or so. I would love to plan an event/reading, etc around your visit if possible. My email is etask@dapstl.org.
take care,
Emily

Hi Qwo! Good to see you here. You sent me some QuickTime movie stuff a long while back and I can't lay my hands on it. Could someone send it again?

Best as

oh i know! and when they had that display in the front of the black feminist writing, i nearly went broke. it was right by the door, i couldn't escape...

what are you reading these days?

oh i didn't buy that june jordan book, it was too expensive...but perhaps in the next week i'll go back and get it. here is a list of things i bought in my excitement/rampage:

_even cowgirls get the blues_ by tom robbins
_bastard out of carolina_ by dorothy allison (currently reading!)
_woman hollering creek_ by sandra cisneros

that's what i bought at the independent used bookstore. from the big chain store (borders) i bought:

_the trouble with islam today_ by irshad manji (the reason i went bookshopping in the first place)
_fried green tomatoes at the whistle stop cafe_ by fannie flagg (finished reading this weekend!)
_autiobiography of a blue-eyed devil_ by inga musico, author of _cunt_.

it was very exciting. i'm dangerous in a bookstore on a saturday night!

i went on a book buying spree last night and i found out that june jordan wrote an opera with john adams! do you know if there are any recordings of it? i see you have the libretto in your library.

posted by flutegrrl at 10:26 pm (EST) on Jul 8, 2007

oooo you have an author page! that's exciting.

yeah library thing is pretty addictive. but i think i'm over the initial excitement of catalouging the books i can find.

posted by flutegrrl at 11:11 am (EST) on Jun 22, 2007

i'm pretty good. bored at work, excited to go camping this weekend with meggin, cutting my hair off tonight. the usual. ;)

i'm reading this book about judith butler right now, and then i'm going to read gender trouble. its my summer goal, to read it AND understand most of it.

I recently spoke about your poem "Fourth Cherokee Lesson: Birth" from Walking with Ghosts in a class here at Penn State. I was doing a presentation on LGBTAQ literature for a Comparative Lit class and decided that for my part I would present information about two-spirited Native Americans. Your poetry really helped me paint a picture of what that identity might feel like. Thank you.

of course, you are the top person on my "users with similar books" list! i need to add more: i sat on my couch and added all the things i had stacked on top of my TV :)
