I just got home from @UCSanDiego, where I taught Week One of @ClarionUCSD 2023. Based on this group, I'd say the future of the field is in good hands.
And we're underway with @ClarionUCSD 2023 at @UCSanDiego, with Andy Duncan (@BELUTHAHATCHIE) leading Week 1! Hope to see you at Andy's reading Wednesday at 7pm at @MystGalaxyBooks! https://t.co/aqLYVxtmhU
