Poet Nicelle Davis is creating poetry umbrellas for the 2014 AWP conference and bookfair. Check out her blog for more information.

Accents is at AWP! If you’re in Seattle, come say “Hi!” to Accents Junior Editor Christopher McCurry, intern James Pfeiffer, and one of the original interns, Haley Crigger! (We’ll be in space AA3).

Also, you might have noticed some whimsical trees decorated with poems; poet Nicelle Davis created these and included three poems from our very own Lori A. May! If you’re in the area, you should be able to spot “Arbor Clock”, “Late Dinner”, and “Pause”, all from Square Feet.

Lori will be signing Square Feet today from 12-1pm, and don’t forget to congratulate her on the fantastic review in [Pank] as well as her coverage on The570.com.

We’ll also have

• Sarah Freligh from 1-2pm,
• Matt Minicucci from 12-1pm on Friday, and
• Patty Paine from 1-2pm on Friday

So, if you’re at AWP, please come and visit if you get a spare minute. And if you’re not at AWP, ask us any questions in the comments and we’ll try and get back to you.
