Oh, And...

...another wonderful review from xterminal, who finally received my books of poetry and posted his thoughts on Dust Radio first, here (http://xterminal.livejournal.com/674055.html#dust). If I have any caveat, it'd be that I (obviously) don't think mixing free and formal verse is a weakness per se, but that's pretty tiny--thanks so much, man. Stuff like this makes getting out of bed in the morning worth it.;)

We ain't gonna go dere. It's too early in the morning for a knock-down drag-out. Hee! (But we will go there eventually, I'm sure... my "ten commandments of poetry" post from a few years ago, which I still haven't unearthed, is one of the most controversial I've ever put up.)

Review of Bent Under Night forthwith-- it's one of the two books I have slated for review that I just cannot. choose. one. excerpt. from. (Nathaniel Mackey's Splay Anthem is the other, but since that one's due back under pain of me never being able to borrow from Westerville again, I forced a choice last night. I own BUN now, thanks again!, so no pressure. whee!)

Hello There!

I've been dying to get my hands on both of your poetry volumes, could you point me in the right direction?

p.s. Toni Halliday's new solo project is sounding pretty bloody brilliant. She's calling her new project Chatelaine and you can check out 2 of the tracks here:
