LR Goodies for AWP 2010: Bookmarks & Handmade Mini-Books<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As we mentioned last week, the LR<\/em> editors are gearing up for the 2010 AWP Conference with great excitement.\u00a0 For those of you who will also be going, we thought we’d put together a list of panels and readings that we thought might be of special interest to readers and writers of Asian American poetry.\u00a0 Come look for us, in particular, at Kundiman’s Thursday panel<\/span> and Wednesday off-site reading (co-sponsored with Cave Canem)<\/span><\/span>.\u00a0 If you check out the bookfair, you’ll also be able to find us (and our materials) at the Kundiman\/Alice James Books table.<\/p>\n
