Back to work today. I am actually looking forward to it. Similar to what C Dale said on his blog, after being with writers for a couple weeks, and having a good time, I am ready to switch gears, and be a doctor again for a while. Physician-poet, Poet-physician, doctor-who-writes-poems, poet-who-is-a-doctor-for-his-day-job, I dunno what to call myself. I am just pretty happy to be going back to my practice today.

Sunday I worked on sending out submission responses for the special In Posse Review issue "Poetry & the Body" I am editing. It's all electronic/online, so I am already hearing back from some poets, many of whom who are just so pleased to have poems chosen. It's always nice to give good news.

I saw you go by in the bookfair area, but didn't get a chance to say hello. I too had a great AWP...but am glad to be back home!
I'm also back to the day job and finally feel a little rested. I also got back to writing last night, working on a new poem, inspired by something I heard at AWP.
