Shin Yu Pai, an original and entertaining Texas Pages blogger until she had to leave us for cooler climes, will be back in town Feb. 26-28 at the Richland College Literary Festival.

She says:

"The line-up for the 3-day fest will include Alvaro Cardona-Hine, Sheryl St. Germain, myself, and a few other presenters. I read on Thursday morning, 2/28, at 11 a.m. for 1 hour and will do a slide show/reading presentation, to be followed by a 50-minute poetry-writing workshop. The festival is free and open to the public."

More details as I receive them.
