OK-- so, there are a few things that need posting.
First of all, Tucson is going to choose its first poet laureate, and here are the procedures for nominations if you'd like to participate. I am open to suggestion and would love to form a coalition for someone local. We need a true poet, and a true Tucsonan: http://www.tucsonpimaartscouncil.org/public-art/opportunities/tucson-poet-laureate-nominations/
Second of all, a teacher colleague of mine from Southern Arizona Writing Project is running for TUSD School Board this fall. After the AZK12 Center's Teacher Leadership Institute, I am convinced that we need more teachers on school boards, and Kristel Foster is a great choice. Check out her website and facebook page, and spread the word, and more importantly, VOTE.
Another sweet opportunity is that the deadline for Copious, an effort by Charles Zoll to recognize local artists, and if you are a Tucson poet you can have your poem put to music as part of the performance next year: http://www.copiouscollaboration.org/#!
Fourth, my children need something to do. L is currently dancing, writhing on the floor, singing under her breath... everything except sweeping the floor, which I asked her to do. They are getting the summer boredom, and word to the wise: It takes proactiveness to sign your kids up for summer programs early. They are all full or already in session at this point. I'm screwed! :) It's okay, though. We have projects to do. But it would be easier if it weren't June in Tucson (i.e. Hell Month.)
