Excellent reading by Maryann Corbett at her WordTech event last Friday night. She let loose with a substantial poem on winter in Minnesota from Mid Evil, especially suitable since we had treated our out-of-town guests to a blinding, 3-hour blizzard that morning. Interesting readings from many WordTech colleagues.

Translators, you may know about them, but Archipelago Books had a table at the book fair. They publish exclusively translations, in very attractive editions. http://archipelagobooks.org/ They're giving a fair amount of press now to the Norwegian prose artist Karl Ove Knausgaard.
