Adding my e-mail to previous announcement

[Melissa Smith]

Eric-

I won't be able to attend, but just wanted to say "hi" and to bring to 
your attention that Ludmilla Petrushevskaya's English translation 
"There Once Lived a Woman Who Tried to Kill Her Neighbor's Baby" Won 
the "World Fantasy Award" for Best collection for 2009. I can't imagine 
a better representative for the theme of the conference!

Best wishes,

Melissa Smith

meeting in Detroit, June 28-July1. Their theme this year is "Urban 
Apocalypse, Urban Renaissance: Landscapes in Science Fiction and 
Fantasy." I attended summer before last and had a wonderful experience, 
and I think it would be a great idea to create a Slavics presence at 
the conference in summer 2012.

the conference. I already have four presenters, but I'd like to have 
more--at least two panels and with luck three. I'm collecting the 
titles and abstracts and will submit them as a group. The deadline is 
in April, but if you're interested let me know as soon as possible. 
Check out the call for papers and the SFRA website:
