<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt;">A lot of what follows comes from Nat
Anderson&#8217;s wonderful omnibus literary calendar for </span><st1:city><st1:place><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt;">Philadelphia</span></st1:place></st1:city><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt;">, augmented primarily by the
calendar at the Writers House web site (which Nat&#8217;s calendar seems to miss more
often than not). The readings listed below are simply those I&#8217;m interested in.
If I get to one quarter of them, I&#8217;ll be doing very well. I know there are
things I&#8217;m missing (e.g. Eileen Myles and Erica Hunt are supposed to be at </span><st1:city><st1:place><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt;">Temple</span></st1:place></st1:city><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt;"> in the <span class="GramE">Spring</span>).
So I may update it from time to time. Feel free to send me info of readings you
think I should be including.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
