From the Town Hall Seattle web site, "Novelist/humorist/“verse columnist” Calvin Trillin missed his scheduled 2011 Town Hall appearance for health reasons. Perhaps it’s for the best, since not only is he restored to his usual disarmingly wry vigor, but he’ll bring with him a new book, Dogfight: The 2012 Presidential Campaign in Verse (to complement his last collection, Quite Enough of Calvin Trillin)."
