February 12 - 23: I will be on a reading tour in Belgium, if you know anyone in that lovely country and would like to let them know . . . I'm part of something called Saint Amour and will be reading with several other writers from around Europe and Belgium. For the schedule click on: www.begeerte.be/saintamour/index.htm and then click on the word 'speellijst', which I think means schedule.

And if you click on Mrbellersneighborhood and then search my name, you'll find some more pieces . . .
