Thoroughly enjoyed meeting Mark Yakich last evening. He read from all three of his collections and a bit from his creative nonfiction essays, which is a current writing project. He was charming, witty, devilish, tender--a completely enjoyable evening. We had an audience of over 55 (students, faculty and community).
