My primary duties at the grand convergence came on the first full day. I was on a panel dealing with cross-cultural poetics, speaking alongside Evie Shockley and Leonard Schwartz. I spoke from on-going work on race and contemporary reading practices. Other panels that day included Tisa Bryant, Tyrone Williams and Carla Harryman waking us all up with a great session on the "state of the art," and a second panel, on ethnography, featuring talks by Marie Annharte, Sarah Dowling and Candice Rai. Following an afternoon panel in the course of which Lee Ann Brown and Michael Davidson embodied good presentation practices along with addressing the topic of embodiment, we all found our way to dinner, with a large contingent of us converging on a nearby restaurant, and that evening we had the first of the great group readings.
