  3. Troy, I was so happy to discover your work via your marvelous reading at Seattle Arts and Lectures with John Koethe in April of this year. Now I can't wait for Dean Young to kick off SAL this fall. And D. A., I have you to thank for bringing all this together in one blog post. I have become a fan, fan, fan of yours, having fallen for "cosmos, late blooming" when I happened to read it this past spring in BAP 2008, and after that, devouring Lunch, Cocktails, and Chronic one after the other. Might we get you up here to Seattle one of these seasons?
