It’s that time again, when I ask you to help me with a grassroots effort to get Unexplained Fevers on the main page of the poetry voting at Goodreads! It’s Opening Round right now, so once you click the link, you have to sign in first, then find the “write in vote” at the bottom of the page and type in “Unexplained Fevers” and then my book should be a choice from the drop-down box. Thanks so much for any votes! Small press books have a hard time getting publicity, and I’m up against big poets like Billy Collins and Mary Oliver, so every little bit helps!

The second is today’s AMA on Reddit, where I’m still not completely sure what I’m doing (which you can probably tell from my answer’s lack of formatting) but I’ll be happy to answer your questions all day today. A lovely and thriving poetry community there: http://www.reddit.com/r/Poetry/comments/1pi1z5/jeannine_hall_gailey_poet_laureate_of_redmond_wa/
