Annnnd....that second reading....

Very soon, I'll be reading twice in one week—after not having read in months! (Read aloud, that is. I've been reading-reading more or less constantly.)

1. On Monday, April 23 at 7 p.m., I'll join Tiphanie Yanique and playwright Bathsheba Doran at the First Person Plural series at Shrine World Music Venue (2271 Adam Clayton Powell Blvd., near 134th St.—directions here).

2. And on Wednesday, April 25, at 6:30, Columbia Magazine holds its second annual "LIT night" at the Columbia Alumni Center (622 113th St., Bwy/Riverside, click here for free reservations), with David Rakoff and Hannah Tinti.

I'm simultaneously excited and petrified!

See you there?
