#AWP23 Anyone looking for someone to round out their panel or reading? I'm a Philly poet and writing professor interested in readings and panel topics on pedagogy, visual art&writing, first books, and more. Give me a buzz.

[Kelly McQuain @kellymcquain]

@Poetry_Daily @bestiecilla Will the zoom reading be recorded? I teach at that time. Are the other dates set yet? Thanks
