Readings
I tell the students how I came to write the book, with something of the publishing process. Then I read most of chapter one if it’s a story, or about five poems if it’s poetry. Then I talk a bit, read some more and leave about half an hour for questions from the students. If I’m reading from a story I may end up with poetry.
