P.S. HIYA, MINA!

Tao Lin kicks wind.

Once again, Ron Silliman and I are practically the same person. Check out Jill Magi's Threads. Please.

Tao Lin tonight at Unnameable Books.

We're all smelling pretty bad, so hopped and bored is our soaring anticipation for Spider-Man 3. Meantime, why not some poetry tonight? It's an interstitial balm. Laynie Browne, Maxine Chernoff, Norma Cole, Gillian Conoley, Brenda Hillman, and Elizabeth Treadwell. Tonight at 7:30, free. Unless you're in Brooklyn. Then go hear Tao Lin.

I know you're tingling. We all are.

come to tao lin's readings.

Gerald Ford has died, and I still don't feel healed from Watergate.

I started reading a novel today: this. I should say: I read Calvino's introduction and Weaver's forward. Then I got spit off the bus, like a peanut shell.

Tonight I scored another Baffler, this time Number Ten. I seem to be collecting them. I read a poem by Chris Stroffolino on the bus home, then began an essay on the novelist Pamela Moore. My roommate's just read Chris's Light As a Fetter and said it's good. The jacket's great. Because of this love-thing I have for you, my readers, there's a pic here and a real steal here.

Will The Baffler ever return? Is Gerald Ford really dead?

Melville House sent me their Spring catalogue today. I am too tired to type anymore, but here's your clue: Ann Beattie = Tao Lin.
