after reading the manuscript, poet Bob Hicok has agreed to write a back-cover blurb for my collection.

Rats. I get this far:

Another Awkward Stage Of Convalescence

Drunk, I kissed the moon
where it stretched on the floor

and I'm hooked! There goes my day!

It is a kick for me to have poetry published, but it is something more like my 10th birthday when a photo shows up somewhere I get a little giddy

a cool interview with Lisa Zaran there as well (ee that girl loves dylan I think more than you do)

Thumbs up to getting giddy over published photos.
I understand.

yeah, I think you would look nice in those high heel pink pumps the guy is holding....

I don't know what it is about the giddy-ness, Eve, I think that writing has become like a job, a non-paying bitch of a job and photos are still icing. Icing on top of the job.

Maybe so. Maybe it's because of all the poetry on the net. A photo really stands out in a crowd of words, I suppose.
Anyway, I like your fisting photo.

Congratulations Anna and Patrick on Mannequin Envy. Every issue gets better and better.

 

[bogusbrig]

I love your contribution CC.

Jeez. I think I'm starting to stalk you.

 

[Tzara]

I love your contribution CC.

Jeez. I think I'm starting to stalk you.

Hey! No cutting in line, bud. Get in queue.



You know, maybe it would be better if we both just had a beer. I'm buying, mate. What's your call?

 

[Sara Crewe]

Mannequin Eny does look great. Congrats to J. & P. Congrats too to Calli and Tzara for their excellent contributions.




As an aside, whenever anyone says they are 'stalking' someone it makes me think of a giant celery stalk with a face running after someone but it can't really run because it has little celery legs.

Everyone should be grateful right now that I have avs turned off and dont know what you look like or I would be putting all of your faces on huge walking vegetables.

"Huge walking vegetables."

God, what a quote. What an inspiration. My huge walking vegetables are eager to go rampantly stalking those more helpless veggies now. Using that metaphor, I might even be able to use the words "xylem" and "phloem", words that since BIOL 102 have been of little or no use.

Ah, metaphor! We live to recycle you, endlessly, though through overuse.

Thank you! It is a learning experience and thanks for your awesome contribution

My stalker quotient is presently empty so you are welcome to the spot. As Sara mentioned celery, perhaps I will enjoy you with a healthy dollop of peanut butter or Cheez Whiz!

(Thank you BTW, but it's all Patrick and Jenn, smoke and mirrors. They make me look good.)
