I received word yesterday that the wonderful spoken word poet Shannon Leigh, a member of Atlanta's Art Amok slam team going to the nationals in August, was in a terrible diving accident in Florida this past weekend. She is in critical condition at a hospital in Gainesville. Here is a news story published in the
Gainesville Sun about her accident. She is unable to have visitors, except for immediate family, and cannot yet receive cards, flowers, etc. Spare a thought for Shannon and her recovery. I'll post an address up here as soon as I have it. You can read, and hear, Shannon at her MySpace page at this
link.

she's very young, that's on her side. youth helps recovery greatly.
This morning's news was good.Her neurologists came back with brain function tests that say she's good in there. I like how Blake put it "she still has all her poems." She's still unconscious, but the brain function reports give us the best sign that she'll come out on the other side of this okay.
PHEW ICU is a rollercoaster ride.
