just booked my travel

to Kenya in December.

Roll on the Summer Literary Seminars, where I will be on the poetry faculty.

Then the World Social Forum in Nairobi in January.

Followed by Sauti za Busara, Zanzibar in February.

Finally, a week in Johannesburg before I return to the US.

The best possible reminder to myself that there is a larger world beyond my present countdown to the premiere. That there is life beyond it.
