Kenny A. Chaffin - News
I just learned one of my poems "Silent Spirit" has been selected for the premier edition of James Gunn's Ad Astra along with an invitation to read the poem at the John W. Campbell Conference in July.
Woo-Hoo! |

Thanks orlok. I am certainly considering it. The reading would be kind of preliminary part of the conference. I've not been to that conference, but have friends who have and it's definitely one of the better small conferences. And it's even relatively nearby. Bonus!

That would scare the hell out of me. I can stand up in front of a room full of people and present okay, but reading something of my own...

The Conference has some interesting authors, panels, workshops. That would be more the reason to attend for me, but certainly it can't hurt to get the word out a bit on my work as well. |
