~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Glen Beck Loves BlazeVOX [books] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear Poetryetc, In a strange bit of news, I read online that Glen Beck; yes, that Glen Beck had nothing but nice things to say about our press live on his radio show this morning. "It's national poetry month again, and I wanted to tell you the truth about poets and the anti-america social agenda they seek .... When I was in a on my way to the airport, my publicist left a few books for me to look over for upcoming shows. They were poetry, yuck, right, and other weirdo stuff, but with nothing else within reach but a copy of that liberal rag, The New York Times I went with the BlazeVOX [books]. I know, I know poetry and that entire ilk of lily livered liberality can turn one into a commie, or worse in no time at all. But I gave it a try, if only to dismiss this stuff out of hand. But after long heart-felt deliberations, and after careful reading these books, there is great wisdom to be found in them. I urge you to buy and read these profound works; and if you are able, please donate as much as you can to this worthwhile organization. Go figure :-) Best, Geoffrey ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Evan Lavender-Smith's From Old Notebooks hits #5 in Amazon ranking This is true and not the April Foll Joke above :-) Check out the graphic and buy this book now! Here is a neat review from HTML Giant: http://htmlgiant.com/book-reviews/some-thoughts-on-evan-lavender-smiths-from-old-notebooks/ ____________ From Old Notebooks is a memoir, a novel, a poem, an essay - a self-styled memoivel - which exemplifies how love of language and literature enriches our lives, and explores, often with great humor, the many pitfalls confronting a young writer and father on his journey to maturity. Each entry in From Old Notebooks is literally that - an idea written in a writer's draftbook. Within this unconventional format, Lavender-Smith is able to tell us the story of his life while ruminating on subjects ranging from fatherhood to philosophy, art, football, music, politics, TV, teaching, fear of death, and everything in between. In the process, Lavender-Smith lays bare the day-to-day trials and tribulations of an artist confronted by the pressures of culture, family, writing, and, simply, being. Witty, original, poignant and deeply insightful, From Old Notebooks is a coming-of-age story, an ode to writing and reading, to living and loving - a celebration of "human thought in all its glory, all its mundanity." The great tradition of modern philosophy and letters, from Nietzsche and Artaud to Deleuze and Houellebecq, has taught us this much: maintaining the old grammars, figures and style of humanist narrative will never allow us to think. While sustaining a beauty of textual expression Lavender-Smith has nevertheless created a new genre of literature and a new mode and style of thought. This work is at once intellectually compelling and creatively breathtaking. This is a book to be read slowly, carefully and with thoughtful pleasure. -Claire Colebrook, author of Irony in the Work of Philosophy and Milton, Evil and Literary History $16 Buy it NOW [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103258468002&s=805&e=001zupUe4JAqS-SXd8bP3NKO7bMWeC3mJZeMztav5-ehcbeJgy1Vdhq9vTvWlF9Ps6qCrg-n84g4ONLutH4KuPIj3KKhsNk3DeY3WEP2KKKj3M3GxncNQX_1yP3VDnjQ2coy9cStmPm4MnZg-XopeFN8U5OQfSihl84hYY7KvHWf3uSO9w8TJSDM0iABdAVzmZER4wq17hEtqPgfgbY0lIqD8A0-ch_dIo-gC8loeSKf6mE_wholTpnXNz-ckSq6RpWNDjDoH2x3PhnvUM-Ly6A7Q==] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Feeling for the Ground by Tom Clark "Pretty much exactly like Tom Thumb's Blues, Mr. Clark goes on as ever letting his sensibility seep like rain through all the great American vernacular sites - film noir, baseball, the shore, dreams - and the result is a sequence of utterances that feel both timeless and inexhaustibly resonant." -Jonathan Lethem Check out this wonderful review by Lucy in the Sky's blog http://locospornaufragar.blogspot.com/2010/03/in-world-of-magnets-and-miracles.html Buy it NOW [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103258468002&s=805&e=001zupUe4JAqS_1eQIixDhHYR7eII2TJWZ3Mnz-4s5T1wKY7QJVrnzfCgwhRUuBJyqIicKF6C9vkueiYb9x-H07d1lV9Utn7fLmMysnOVKsFLztTXQV4j4TsKOo8FMKgQWQNGUiG5GrTQUdYZpM-LdSn4Egz73TSkxPUjBtEKnFJGH91iK8okLMfEnkuyHJhxmBwsSpwBbPbkrhezqoLbEmfIFcrHF4I116_Vk4JXFRu98bLATe-lfPMA==] Read more [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1103258468002&s=805&e=001zupUe4JAqS_9-3VRrx-d50K6rNV6E8KLiExEKw_qQIQfGgRobA_ECsPHyvVkRDQnfgu4ZsMi8rO0fE4kJ526CR7kz317UmgYcqcOHsTMas8Q6rgnUZ5Dqv2dq7I2njWj] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PeopleTalk Also a fun article on Geoffrey Gatza hits the Sunday Buffalo News: http://www.buffalonews.com/2010/03/26/1000027/peopletalk-a-conversation-with.html ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Virtual AWP Unfortunately, I won't be going to AWP in Denver. The money I saved up to go, I used to buy 1000 new ISBN numbers as there was a great sale going on :-) This is 12 years of resources so I think it was a wise decision. I'll be at the next one though :-) However- I am going to put up a virtual AWP table online! We'll have $10 books that will be shipped right to you at your home so you don't have to carry them across the country!
