LAST DAY. LIFE IS GOOD. BUY SOMETHING.

I have not heard from Andrew Smith.

Abraham Lincoln is proud to present Mitch Highfill's chapbook Moth Light.

RAIN TAXI ONLINE EDITION: SPRING 08, 2ND INSTALLMENT

The Wright game changes. He preens, he simpers; I can't keep my breakfast.

SUBMIT: Sous Rature seeks work of erasure, inadequacy, and otherwise. Poems, prose, cross. Also, images and art. This is a necessary endeavor.

Send text and/or images that are "inadequate yet necessary."

Three days and x minutes, the festoons will come down, the garlands will be smashed into the trash. We will heave, if.

In these remaining hours I am still for instance:

• Deed by Rod Smith
• The Romance of Happy Workers by Anne Boyer
• Mommy Must Be a Fountain of Feathers by Kim Hyesoon
• Tourmaline by Dorothea Lasky
• Coeur de Lion by Ariana Reines
• Out of Light by Joseph Massey
• A New Quarantine Will Take My Place by Johannes Göransson

and other things.

There are also lots of; sale copies of this. All the measurable of this month 10% off.

I used to get a new pair of saddle shoes, like Lucy, and lots and lots of chocolate.

That was 30-odd years ago.

In the 2004 U.S. Presidential Election, the cities of Philadelphia, Allentown, Pittsburgh, Wilkes-Barre, Scranton, and Erie went Democratic, while the entire rest of the state voted Bush. God bless these people.

Timed words stapled to a vest pocket, I don't. I haven't. Apologia mia fallow, my misreadings. The conflicts are mine. Sorry about overlapping. Pain. We are in the pool and sometimes it's small. My butter hurts.

I note in passing: the Murdoch Poetry Promo Tool—named for this month, which I skeptically introduced here; the arm of the publisher of this year's co-winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry (for frack's sake)—is very apparently dead.

That's show biz!

"If I had said YouTube is more popular than bitterness, I might have got away with it."

Don't scourge, don't scourge, don't scourge.

Coffee House people tonight at Moe's.

Insane weather forecast the new few days.

BY THE BELATED WAY, congratulations to Steve Dickison for winning the Northern California Independent Booksellers Association's 2007 Book of the Year Award for Disposed from Post-Apollo Press.

Translated from the Latin by Ryan Gallagher: a bluesy, contemporary, fun and salacious version of this ancient lyric poet-it is blues from ancient Rome. Latin and essays included. "Gaius Valerius Catullus is distinguished from all the other writers of antiquity by his vulnerability. He is the most personal of Latin poets, and more personal than any Greek poet including Sappho.... if his love poems could only be duplicated in English they would be popular at every level of society and might be sung in night clubs or by rock groups."
