i. GC Waldrep's Goldbeater's Skin
ii. Matthea Harvey's Sad Little Breathing Machine

Misc:

Don't count on the T.T. poster. He made some weird comments about it on my blog so I took it down.

P.S. If you are a good poet, Santa will bring you your own poster with blue eyes. She needs your address.

Didi,

Yeah, I made some really frickin weird comments about how it might be a good idea to run the idea by people before making and *selling* posters of them (that while I thought it was funny & weird & beyond kitsch to see that a person I didn't know was all of the sudden selling a poster of me, some people actually might be less than amused to being turned into merchandise -- not everyone's a giddy capitalist & some poets I'd guess would be very offended) (a poster?). I also mentioned it might not be smart to market and sell Jim Morrison posters since his name and likeness are probably copyrighted and you could get in trouble -- the record industry types are absolutely ruthless. I was trying give you a heads-up before you got yourself in trouble.

Your future $12.99 American Poet coffee mug,

Tony Tost

Tony - your image will not be on any coffee cup or anything else for that matter. Your image is no longer available. Period.

Do have a nice day now....you hear?

the matthea harvey book is some good, fun stuff. i taught it in my intermediate poetry class this fall, and they mostly liked it, though a small group of my students felt that harvey "is just trying to prove how clever she is. And I don't really care, man, you know?" Hopefully santa comes through & you can be the judge. -jen tynes

Didi,

Feel free to replace the Tony Tost american poet poster with a Tony Robinson poster.

I like being turned into merchandise.
