Tao Lin has won the Action Books 2005 December Prize!

you are a little bit happier than i am by Tao Lin
of New York City has won the Action Books 2005 December Prize and will be published in Fall 2006.

Quote:

We are still recovering from reading Tao Lin’s manuscript. Reading his poetry is like looking the wrong way down Frank O’Hara’s ear trumpet at a 21st century Mayakovsky IM-ing Lili Brik. It’s fun, smart, manic and ecstatic; it puts on a clean shirt before it loads the gun.

Congratulations, Tao.

Action Books have also announced the inception a new quarterly web journal called Action, Yes, which will launch in March 2006. It will feature poetry, prose, graphic art, and translation. I think it'll be great.
