Blue Ox Reading

Tonight I read at the Blue Ox Reading at my university. It is meant to be the big MFA reading. 3 out of the 6 poets are to read. In December, the remaining 3 poets read.

I go first, which I am glad of because I won't have to follow anyone. I've read poetry all over Madison, but I've been absent from it for awhile. I feel good about tonight.

I've also been made aware that I should start thinking about fellowships, etc. for after I graduate from the MFA program.

Do I find work in any field that will take me?

Do I find work in the literary field?

Do I find another MFA program to go to to buy time for me to write (and will my boyfriend up and move with me?)

Do I apply for fellowships?

So many decisions...

I am currently Questioning
I am listening to the noise a room full of computers make.
