Current mood:  anxious Category: Writing and Poetry
Hey All,
it's been a while since I've been trekking to CA and DC to visit with family and friends and attending weddings. I've been reading, writing new work, and enjoying time with people I care about. I hope that all of you are doing the same. Below are the dates where I'll be reading for starters.
I expect to add some more dates, so stay tuned to the new & improved the new & improved Tara Betts site for more updates, to sign the guestbook, read my new blog entries, and subscribe to the RSS feed.
You can still pre-order your copy of ARC & HUE before the readings below for 20% OFF THE COVER PRICE. Just visit Willow Books Poetry before 9/1/09. I hope that you all are enjoying the last throes of summer before back-to-school fully kicks in.
Feel free to write and see you soon,
Tara
