Greetings! From the Phantom Seedling....
Here are some December desert literature and poetry events some of you may wish to attend. Check back in a few days (it's Saturday, 11.29 of Thanksgiving weekend) - I'll have more things posted, and will also try to post a more expansive winter/spring calendar. I can't believe how many things I'm doing. But IT'S ALL GOOD, as they say - thanks - Ruth
