On the nets:

In the “Why didn’t I think of that” category, a female writer nets seven figures for YA book trilogy retelling Helen of Troy and Persephone’s stories…Dang! If only I’d written Becoming the Villainess in prose…and made it more of a love story…and more cheerful…

Amazing interview with one of my favorite poets, Dana Levin. She always manages to sound so much smarter in interviews than I do. Sigh! (By the way, her book, Wedding Day, is a perennial favorite of mine.)

Kelli Russell Agodon details how to make a book trailer. Very helpful! Her follow up on the process is here.

Ron Silliman blogs about women in poetry.

Not poetry related, but very funny: Google apologizes for privacy breaches with eerily specific apology. My favorite part:

Either way, the company said, “We’ll know.”
