Oh My Word...Your new "Writing the Life Poetic" book looks lovely and I have a feeling that it's going to be a hit, especially since we tried some of its writing exercises at that coast workshop. Please - for the love of God - consider having the release party or at least a signing at Barnes & Noble Vancouver. Did I mention their large and growing poetry fan base, led by Chris Luna and Toni Partington, its stature as the 3rd largest bookstore in Portland and its witty/charming Community Relations Manager, who promises no paperwork for you, the author?

I will be first in line to get this book.
