National Poetry Month Free Poetry Book Giveaway


Wanna free copy of my new book, The Little Office of the Immaculate Conception, winner of the 2010 Saturnalia Books Poetry Award? If you answered yes, here's all you need to do:

1. Comment on this post, saying something like "Count me in!"

2. Wait till the end of April, when I throw all the names into a hat and pick just one.

3. If you are chosen, I will contact you and ask you to provide me with your ground mail address.

4. A few days later you will receive your very own copy of a book by the poet whom David Kirby says you should be listening to instead of CNN.

Yes, folks, it's that easy.

Happy National Poetry Month, everyone. May poetry ring through your ears, down your halls, and through your very own special piece of heaven all the live-long April.

    Read your poem in the Writer's Almanac this morning, which was more than enough to send me here. Shazam.

    I can only say this, as you are brand-new to me from 10 minutes ago, when I read your poem on Writers Almanack: ME TOO. I have always wondered how on earth we all keep on truckin'. There is so much that can go permanently wrong (it seems, to my mind), there all the time. Yet, for the most part, most of the time, we keep going....Amazing.
    Right on!
    And of course: you live in Seattle...of course you can "see."

    Your poem today on Writers Almanack, it touches me as utter truth. I have often felt exactly the same way, but afraid to say it. Thank you for saying it.

    Yes, I say, yes and yes and yes! Having heard "After Reading There Might Be an Infinite Number of Dimensions" read by Garrison Keillor on The Writer's Almanac last Saturday, and after sharing it far and widely, I can no other answer make but YES!
