Oh, am I ever glad I am not going to AWP this year! I was just looking through my old comics, drawn when I was first trying to figure out FLASH and how to draw comics with my mouse, and realizing how many of my early comics were about my dread of AWP. But I will miss seeing friends and celebrating BOA's 40th anniversary and seeing poets like Naomi Shihab Nye, Rick Bursky, and Li-Young Lee.
