Life updates: I'm Dr. Mason now (I defended and earned my Ph.D. in August), I'm still an adjunct but now an adjunct professor (and may ever be contingent, alas!), and our eldest daughter is in college now-- at Smith College.

If you'll be at NeMLA in Pittsburgh this weekend, I am a special events speaker this year and will be giving a Mad feminist poetry reading on Saturday night at 7 PM. I'd love to see you there.
