Sorry to hear about your weird thyroid thing. We can start a club. I have a huge thyroid with seven nodules. Apparently, it’s much better if the nodules come in batches than a single. But now annual scans and once, the biopsy. Not horrible, but not nice. Synthroid (synthetic T4) did wonders for me, but then stopped, so I’m back on the Armour at a higher dose. No one understands the thyroid. I’ve decided it’s the poetry gland.

I loaned my first copy out years ago and never got it back, so I searched online and now own two copies. Gotta have a back-up, y’know.

Hope the thyroid rollercoaster levels off soon.

It’s like “Bagels and Lox,” although, interestingly, it is a French name. She is a great teacher and a wonderfully fun person – when I first met her she was wearing a suit jacket with a South Park t-shirt underneath.
Dear Karen,
I know – I’ve been using waaay too much conditioner lately. Awake is fabulous – I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

Major excitement about Dorianne Laux’s book coming back to the poetry world — it’s the only one of hers (I think) that I don’t have. Now I know at least one book that will be on my Christmas list.

How does Dorianne pronounce her name? Is it “Lox,” “Lux,” “Lau,” or something else? I’m teaching _What We Carry_ next week, and I want to at least get the author’s name right. Also any anecdotes about her as a teacher would be appreciated.
