I thought it sounded sufficiently 'literary' enough for my partner :o)<br /><br />Bookwitch - you mean taking sweets and chocolate is not a good enough excuse to go? Actually, I was 'teaching' creative writing in Yup'ik schools to students fromthe ages of 5 to 18.

I wrote a blog post about Seth the last time he was in town, in case you're interested.<br /><br />http://stumblingthewalk.blogspot.com/search/label/seth%20kantner<br /><br /><br />If I were a single man, or if Julia ever wises up and kicks me to the curb, I think I would disappear into the wilds of Alaska.
