Caleb’s SNIPPETS OF TOMORROW (04/25/10)

April 25, 2010

@ UnRonic, Stephen Krauska offers some truly amazing words about Charactered Pieces. There's so much more than I deserve in the full review, so I urge you to click over the UnRonic to read everything. But here's a snippet: Between his spectacular characters, interesting stories, excellent metaphors all held together with great imagery and vivid description, Ross is a must read. He's young, fresh and down to earth enough to admittedly "steal" lyrics and write an "Acknowledgment" section that sounds more like a bonus story than a Hollywood awards speech.

Also, I posted about the AWP Conference as it was happening, over at the Denver AWP blog that I set up. Myself, along with a few other writers, posted about our experiences as they were happening. I'm sure more updates will trickle in over the coming days, as hangovers and jet-lag wear off.
