  Kim,

  Thanks for letting me know about your debut reading from the new book. Congratulations! So exciting.

  I’d love to come though I don’t know if I’ll make it up to Vancouver by then. Have a great time, if so, and we’re all looking forward to meeting you and hearing you read in Port Townsend.

  Warmly, Kathryn

  PS You have your apartment reserved at Fort Worden for THREE nights if you can manage it, Thursday – Sunday (leaving Sunday AM). The fort is a really amazing refuge right on the Salish Sea. Lots of exploring and walking to do. Time to write. Please mull it over and let me know what would work best for you. We love for our poets to become part of our community here during their stay.
