This year's issue was edited by: LAURA ELRICK, BRENDA IIJIMA, DAVID A. KIRSCHENBAUM, MARK LAMOUREUX, CHRISTINA STRONG, AND RODRIGO TOSCANO.
Inside the covers, you've got some Anselm Berrigan, Lee Ann Brown, Arlo Quin, Joanna Sondheim, Anna Moschovakis, and Matvei Yankelevich, etc. (I think that my poem in this is one of the sadder poems I have ever written.)

On Sunday I had brunch with some fine poets/people. On my way there, I passed:
A crazy straw!
Brenda I., Ana B-B, and Amy K. You can actually check out Ana and Amy's work in the Boog link above (I recommend doing this right now). Note that they are all holding/wearing their spirit animals. Well, maybe they are just rubber animals from the dollar store:
(Spirit animals, from left to right: Elephant, dog, shark)
The ladies were a bit late to arrive so M and I had to entertain ourselves by taking photos of our dollar store finds:
Elephant:
I saw Juno this weekend. Really bad. I apologize to all the people I made see this with me.

I've started watching Deadwood. Any comments?

Don't forget that Pierre Joris, Eugene Ostashevsky, and Michael
Loughran are reading tonight at A & B. I'd really love to go but I think that I may go watch Sampson Starkweather play on the soccer team with the Strokes at the Chelsea Piers. It's a good sign when a soccer team of indie rockers has to recruit a poet to kick some ass.

I'm not sure I've ever heard you say you liked a movie.
oh, way harsh. There are a lot of movies that I love. This weekend I watched Paprika, which was great. Check out the parade scene and make sure you have the volume on since the picture is grainy, the music is what will win you over:

i think after seeing margot at the wedding, any movie seen afterward for a period of a month or two is going to at least get a point from me. juno earned the point for its soundtrack. and for using the term 'food baby'.
true, "food baby" was good. but the phrase "Swear to blog," in the first 5 minutes of the movie, was hard to recover from. The actress couldn't even say it sincerely. Probably because she is 15 and has no idea what a blog is. Which fits into the general disaster of the script's dialogue.
I agree the movie had points of lameness (I've pretty much given up on movies ... I saw maybe four all year), but I thought the lead actress was really a gem.
