New Blog....

So I'm hoping to start doing some blogging here as well, but in addition, I've started a new blog called Durham Has the Worst Roads in the World -- it's sort of a civic action, rant, sort of something or other -- with luck, informative and also entertaining...

Someday I'll start blogging about something, but here's something -- isn't this just the way with the information age? It used to be everybody had a blog and they wrote at length about their thoughts and etc. and etc. and they talked about what they did and etc. and etc. and now everybody's got a twitter feed and I know what you had for breakfast. What is the history of america? Someday it'll start with cornflakes.

Me on the Radio....

Jeff Davis graciously had me on his radio show, Word Play, yesterday afternoon up in the mountains of Asheville. It was a lot of fun -- thanks, Jeff! We talked about Key Bridge, my recent collaborative writing with the beautiful and brilliant Anastasia Sea, various traditions in contemporary poetry, typewriters, Greensboro fun, the band Invisible, and many many more topics.

Give a listen if you've got a few......

My dear friend Brian Howe wrote a really generous and insightful review of KB and Chris Vitiello and Tony Tost's new books. Great company to be in and a great mind to think through the work. Many, many thanks, Brian....
