It was part of the annual but now-defunct Nature of Words (NOW) conference. She read from her novel Lavinia, and I seem to recall she received an award presented by NOW. Also saw her at a couple of other readings locally. She is such a treasure. I just read a quote by her which seems so appropriate right about now: It is good to have an end to journey toward, but it is the journey that matters in the end.

Glad you have gotten through the weather and are able to navigate the roads. So many horrible accidents around here lately. Sad, depressing and kinda scary. Tends to keep me indoors.

Be safe and well. The journey matters!
