Dear Friends of Amherst Books—

We have some exciting news: we now have a used book department in the basement! Although we've been building it for several months, we just recently bought a couple of libraries, and have particularly strong sections in used Asian studies, African studies and art. Our used literature, philosophy and history sections are pretty good too!

thanks to everyone who's wished me well moving. i'm almost there, but it isn't getting any easier.

Rilkemilky is a new word.

(You can pronounce Rilke correctly—so it doesn't rhyme with milky—and it still comes out fine.)

Update: For whatever reason (and I'm too uninterested to imagine) the Rilkemilky post has evaporated.

Etymologists, check your cache.

 
YO.

packing

Taking an ill-deserved break. Found this book at Moe's a few years ago for six bucks. This post is for the one or two weirdos who love to comment on Silliman's blog, whenever the subject is bookstores, something always to the effect of "LET THEM ALL CLOSE THEY SUCK I DON'T CARE THE INTERNET RULES."

wednesday

What kind of mailing list am I not on that I just learn late tonight that Joyelle McSweeney will be reading tomorrow night at St. Mary's?

I'll be working, and it's impossible, and I can't go. Also, it's impossible.

Directions here.

I curse!

another thing i don't have time for this week: haircut.

A BETTER WORLD.

John Zorn and George Saunders awarded the MacArthur.

I am awarded the CAConrad.

Too busy packing. Please tell me what I need to know.

I had an appetite before I had a catechism.

I read this. I read this. I read this.

past simple

Somehow, LRS beat me here.

On the fly, between, as it were, boxes.

Just received, as it were, personally and professionally, Yes, Master by Michael Earl Craig from Fence Books. IMG smudges, links, and whatnot to follow, maybe.

This is a broken cellphone.

I'm on a bus.

The bus has run out of gas.

I'm moving.

"This puts [Stephanie] Young in a position with regards to verse right now not unlike the one Scarlett Johansson has toward film."

whatsit?

NOÖ sent me this url. I've visited the site, the blog, and it seems to be an auspicious, ambitious, well, something.

Some kind of outline for action.

Maybe it's just me, the unclear seer. Six-in-the-morning me.

Via TB:

CULTSOC5THANNIVERSARY

I meant to say "Mise à Jour chez CAConrad: Cliquez immédiatemment!"

I'm told. Zhuh pah.

the cover

My life is an adventure. If you answer my personals ad, one of the first questions you will have to answer is "Can you keep up with me?"

In a moment, after I've drunk my coffee, I'm heading to Launderland, and I'm washing mixed colors and taking the new issue of 14 Hills with me. Then I'll come home, check all the messages I got when I was out, probably return one or two of the important calls, quickly shower, shave, and head to work.

I ride the bus. I am deeply environmentally conscious.

NEW JOURNAL!

AS IS brings together bright new voices from the Vietnamese American arts community. Drawing from all around the San Francisco Bay Area, this collection of photography, painting, poetry, fiction, and nonfiction is entirely edited, designed, and produced by fellow emerging artists. AS IS showcases a vibrant mix of up-and-coming talents and their visions of urban city youth, water-fronted city lights, working-class neighborhood nail salons, lovers and buildings and families and emotions burning with fire (sometimes literally), and much more. In its first publication project, the Vietnamese Artists Collective showcases some of the freshest and hottest artists to come from one of the youngest ethnic communities in the country.

Contributing artists include: Han Pham, Thien Nguyen, Sylvia La, Veanne Cao, Tan Khanh, Dzung Vo, Phung Thi Chinh, Dan Diggity, Cuong Thanh Luong, Isabelle Thuy Pelaud, Ky-Phong Tran, Anh-Hoa Thi Nguyen, Ly Nguyen, Danny Thanh Nguyen, Alisha Nguyen, Yimi Tong, Jimmy Thong Tran, and Vinh Ngo.
