Hi Everyone,

I don’t know about you but my inbox gets filled with all kinds of literary happenings—like last week’s informal salon at Terrance Hayes’s apartment. Every once in awhile I’ll pass along a few of the more interesting ones, including submissions, essays, even job opportunities.

Here goes:
