In other exciting news: Ada Limon recently had a poem published in The New Yorker.
“I loved reading at Gist Street: a crackling vibe, good food and drink, a functioning woodstove, a frigid night, a stupendous view out the windows — and I sold a whole bunch of books, saw some folks I hadn't seen in years, and met a few new to me. Bravo and Brava!”
