And, come see TSR staff members at the following events:
- Friday, February 4th, at noon in the Virginia C Room in the Marriott Wardman Hotel, Lobby Level: A reading featuring past winners of the Kenyon Review Short Fiction Contest: Cara Blue Adams, Christopher Feliciano Arnold, Megan Mayhew Bergman, Megan Anderegg Malone, Nick Ripatrazone, and Mika Taylor.

- Thursday 4:30 p.m.-5:45 p.m., Thurgood Marshall East Room Marriott Wardman Park, Mezzanine Level R217. Status Update: The Personal Essay in the Age of Facebook. (Jen McClanaghan, Phillip Lopate, Bob Shacochis, Debra Monroe, Jocelyn Bartkevicius, Susan McCallum-Smith) Between the ever-popular tell-all memoir and ubiquitous status updates on websites such as Facebook and Twitter, the confession has never been so popular or so utterly mundane. We know more about each other than ever before and yet little that’s truly intimate or insightful. This panel will discuss the tradition of the personal essay and what it might offer the contemporary reader and writer, namely the opportunity for real insight and reflection.
- Alice James Books Poetry Reading. Thursday, 10:00PM-11:30PM. Location: DC Arts Center Cost: FREE. Don’t feel like shaking your booty at the AWP dance? Then come on over to the very hip DC Arts Center theatre at 2438 18th St NW to hear poetry by recent Alice James Books authors including Reginald Dwayne Betts, Nicole Cooley, Frank Giampietro, Daniel Johnson, Lesle Lewis, Laura McCullough, Chad Sweeney, and Brian Turner.
- Room 107 Colorado Convention Center, Street Level 9AM to 10:15 Friday: This session is designed to give contributors to the 2010 Pedagogy Forum an opportunity to discuss their works, though all are welcome. The papers will provide a framework to begin in depth discussion in creative writing, pedagogy, and theory. A pedagogy speaker will contextualize the discussion with some brief remarks before attendees break out into small discussion groups. These groups will be facilitated by trained pedagogy paper contributors (including Frank Giampietro).
