&Now in Buffalo
I’m not up to a writeup of the recent &Now: A Conference of Innovative Writing and the Literary Arts, a festival/conference (“festerence,” as someone noted) which just shuffled through Buffalo. But while you are waiting for the deadpan article in Harper’s about the event, these should be worth about 3000 words.
- &Now conference attendees wait for Nathaniel Mackey’s keynote reading.
- This sticker, unrelated to the conference, was an ad for something. The URL washed away, rendering it art.
- Stephanie Strickland joins me at The Century Grill, where it’s bacon night.




I am bummed I missed bacon with Stephanie Strickland, most of all.
