Were you maybe thinking about SKIPPING Kalamazoo this year? I can see by
your guilty glances that some of you were. Yes, I know, the Toronto
Spenser conference is just two weeks later. BUT consider all of the fine
sessions and good fellowship that you would be missing. Not to mention
the raucous delights, the companionable laughter of the Elizabeth Boyle
Bower...
Oh, for Ovid's ingenium, too much in love with its own muchness, that I
might liken their several splendors to pearles and pretious stones of
great assay! But the doorbell just rang, so instead of that, please
accept this catalogue:
