Ha, Glenn and I have been sharing a car for a while, but living in a totally walkable city would be great. I have to say my ultimate poet fantasy is living in a flat in Paris, not NYC. In my dreams I would also be world famous for poetry writing, of course 😉

I have heard a few people discussing this book, but I haven’t picked it up because I’m kind of tired of the debate. I decided to get an MFA because I wanted to study poetry at the graduate level. I also thought I’d like to have a teaching credential without specifically going for an EDU degree.

That being said I don’t care if someone gets one or not if they read and write what they want to. I’d love to live in New York someday, or some big city just to see what it would be like to live without a car lol (and not my current sharing a car arrangement).
