Countdown: Iceland

Iceland's busy poetry collective, Nýhil, is hosting an international poetry festival in Reykjavík (October 12-14, 2007). I'm absolutely honoured to be invited this year, and if you've chatted with me in person recently, you've probably heard my random exclamations of "Iceland!" or "Reykjavík!" The festival promises to be an intense experience, with a roster of authors including Linh Dinh, Lars Skinnebach, Leif Holmstrand, Markku Paasonen, Vilja-Tuulia Huotarinen, and Sean Bonney.
