We've featured Stephanie Brown's prose and poetry here so often over the years that we've given her her own category. One of our most popular posts continues to be Sex in the Stacks, her piece about the sub genre of pulp erotica that features librarians. Stephanie's poems have been included four times in The Best American Poetry (1993, 1995,1997,2005). Most recently, David singled out a poem of Stephanie's on NPR as being one of his three favorite poems of 2011. In short, we're big fans of Stephanie Brown and we think that if you read her work, you will be too.
And if you happen to be in NYC tonight, February 5th, you can hear Stephanie Brown in person when she shares the bill with David Lehman at the KGB Bar. (7:30pm - 85 East 4th Street NYC - Free) It's going to be a great evening.

Go Stacy! Go David!

I was trying to write Go Stephanie! But I kind of like Go Stacy! too, and also Go KGB! That just might be my exclamation point quota for the decade. Maybe not!

Stacey, Can I just say how thrilled I am to have my own category?? I didn't know that. That is an honor, and just so cool, too. Stephanie
