Happy anniversary.

I gave Glenn a copy of “Kitchen Confidential” when he was thinking about trying to become a chef. Hah! Worse than the poetry world – at least we don’t have as many knife fights. That I know of.
Thanks Cati! You are definitely invited to my imaginary peach-tart engagement, and if it ever becomes real, then doubly-invited!
Thanks MJ Iuppa! I feel honored! (And, if you ever want to tell your students they can e-mail me with questions, tell them to feel free! Plus, I’d love to see the essays!)
Dear Collin,
Yes, that’s true. They keep ringing the bells, I keep plugging my ears and yelling “LALALALA!”

I didn’t even bother to read that death of poetry article. Some magazine publishes one of those every year, and for once, I’ve decided to ignore it. Although I might have a glib comment on my blog about it. lol

Congratulations on your anniversary!
Good movie selection! Just want you to know that I’ve taught your book for the past three semesters and my students love your work. Many wrote
exceptional critical essays using your work to support their argument.
Persona poems rock!

Best,

M.J.

I sometimes call myself a poetry evangelist, too; poetry is so much more involved than simply sitting down and writing poems, it’s a way of viewing the world.

Congrats on your fifteenth anniversary, and if you ever decide to have everyone over for peach tarts I am so there! 🙂

I like your comment about other careers being “cutthroat”, too! Anthony is always telling me about the awful things that chefs do to each other in the kitchen (and do I really want to know considering it involves food!)
