Will you be attending AWP? Consider stopping by the Red Dirt offsite reading, sponsored by Red Earth MFA in Creative Writing at OCU. Food and drinks available at the venue. Even if youre not an Oklahoman, you can amaze your friends and colleagues by saying, There was even a reading of nothing but Okies and the Okie-affiliated. And it was excellent--the best reading of the entire conference. Ill buy a drink/snack* for any Okies/Okie Affiliates who show up to listen and are either 1. wearing a shirt that proclaims anything Oklahoma or 2. can tell me the name of the town (and where its located) that gives you your Okie bona fides. (This offer does not include the readers, Sorry. I know where youre coming from.) *Limited to the first 10 attendees--get there early!
