"El Bob" Documentary

The "El Bob" documentary is under way with interviews slated to begin at the Dallas studio the last weekend of April. The film will focus on the life and words of Robert Trammell, the legendary Texas poet who was the founder of WordSpace. Local writer Ben Fountain often remembers how Bob's support and the WordSpace community helped him at a critical point in his writing career. Fountain's book "Brief Encounters with Che Guevara" was recently released to national acclaim and he has a novel on the way. Go out and get a copy of his short story collection while you still can.

It was great to see you at the Poetry-in-Motion launch last week. We just got the summer festival schedule online here:

Looking forward to seeing how your blog evolves and getting to know you thru your writing. I didn't realize that you grew up in NoCal!

Huzzah on the documentary. That's great news indeed. And congratulations on the non-annoying use of the third person self-referential. More soon.
