The Rumpus Poetry Book Club has been discussing Dean Young’s Fall Higher this month, and given that Young had a heart transplant on the 15th, I’d basically assumed we were going to have to postpone. Nope. We’ll be chatting with him tomorrow, as planned. If you’re a member of the club, check your email for the URL and the password, and if you aren’t, well, keep an eye out for the transcript of the chat coming soon.
