Elizabeth Treadwell is up today at Poetry Daily. (I know: I know that site and never look at it either.)

She's also reading this Thursday afternoon at 4:30 with Gloria Frym at the Poetry Center.

If I like you and you're going to AWP, have a great time.

Word for next Tuesday morning, 9:10-11:30 a.m.: listcruft.

Inflate a pink balloon. Tie it. Get out an extra big blue sharpie (you know the ones I'm talking about) and write on the balloon with a steady hand: FRESH ARRIVALS.

ONE BIG SELF: AN INVESTIGATION C.D. WRIGHT COPPER CANYON ¦ THEORY OF ORANGE RACHEL M. SIMON PAVEMENT SAW ¦ CALLER AND OTHER PIECES TOM RAWORTH EDGE ¦ BROKEN WORLD JOSEPH LEASE COFFEE HOUSE ¦ PARTS OF THE MASS CATHERINE IMBRIGLIO BURNING DECK ¦ THE STRIPPING POINT BRIAN HENRY COUNTERPATH ¦ DAILY SONNETS LAYNIE BROWNE COUNTERPATH

Play with the balloon with a cat.

I'm just telling you now: Saturday night.

Now or soon in a world near you:

NOT FOR MOTHERS ONLY: CONTEMPORARY POEMS ON CHILD-GETTING AND CHILD-REARING
edited by Catherine Wagner and Rebecca Wolfe

By the early 00s both were new mothers, and newly aware of an interesting conundrum: poems about birth, babies, and children didn't seem to get as much cultural and literary play as poems about, say, mowing the lawn, or baseball, or romantic love.

I love that.
