This is me with a spiral perm. I love curly hair. Recently, my stylist told me that she wasn't going to give me another spiral perm. This will most likely be the last photo of me with curly curly hair. (I know I could change stylists, but I won't. I'm loyal.)

This is a picture of me and Al Young who is the Poet Laureate of California. I was his TA in a poetry workshop in Prague a few years ago. He's a nice guy and a fabulous writer. (We're in the City Lights Bookstore in San Francisco.)

This is me again. My spiral perm is completely gone now. Even when I add curl-enhancing hair product.

Also, taking author photos isn't my favorite activity. As this was being snapped, I was told to stop tightening my lips and rolling my eyeballs.

I'm not a picture person. I was thinking that I'd put up new photos every now and then.

But I'm probably not going to do that.
