Adventures in Iceland: Part One

For readers of commutiny, it will come as no surprise that I'm posting a) with enthusiasm, b) about poetry, and c) about Iceland. Which is where I'm curently visiting. Which has been incredible. Which isn't over yet. I'll post later as I have more time, but for now, here's a little taste of awesome.

Nýhil Poetry Festival: brilliant fun, highly and wholly recommended. Reykjavík: bright, clean, effervescent. Reykjavík!: I'm in love.

Thanks for a lovely reading on Saturday, Angela. Of course, I ended up staying for the rest of the night. Had a wonderful time. Smashing.

Örvar and the barbershop quartet were out-and-out hilarious! (Not something you can say too often about poetry readings, but that's Nýhil for you, bless them...)

I had this weird dream where you were being interviewed for the SFSU MFA program & Paul Hoover ended up offering you a job. Iznogoud, a French comic book character, was in the background screaming "I want to be the caliph instead of the caliph."
