gina's excellent paper

"...we need to make it possible for all of us to go back home, wherever home is, on a regular basis, so that socioeconomic migration isn’t unidirectional. Without that return, there is only the inevitable drain on our home communities and familial relationships and a disparity in the writing that continues to explore loss." (i'm sorry i missed this panel, and grateful to read gina's paper online).

Hey Emmy, that link isn't working for some reason. . . Also, speaking of crossing paths: Gina Franco was a grad student TA for a Jane Austen course I took my senior year of college.

hi carrie, i think gina took her down her conference paper, that's why the link doesn't work anymore.

wow, what a coincidence about the class - check out gina's blog at http://ghostword.blogspot.com/. she's an awesome poet.

>she's an awesome poet.

Yeah, I've read some of her work. We were in the same issue of the Black Warrior Review!
