Hi Everybody! I’ll be busy today all day and then I fly to Toronto on Monday to start 8 days of book touring. That basically means my posting here will be a the whim of stolen internet/Advil taken like salted peanuts (to cover the bad breath and tamp down the alcohol). I don’t know whether I’ll get a chance to post, so please check back, but don’t send hate mail if I’m not here. A world teeming with wealthy poetry sugar daddies awaits, and baby needs a new pair of shoes. Here are some event links for me.

In between and around all this will be beers and chicken wings. Like foam packing peanuts in a box from Amazon. Get my pages all bent and my corners protected from mishandling. Or something. Anyway, hope you can make it out to one of the events. Come say hi, and tell me you’re a ‘Ninja reader!

Great to meet you and hear you read last night at Starlight, George. The rest of the night was slow enough that I read a chunk of your book. Great stuff. It offered some much-needed relief from the bad hip hop and dance crap that the dj put us through.

Hi George,
I wanted to say what a pleasure it was to meet you at the Starlight and listen to you read. Your book is incredible – so many amazing thoughts put into such succinct words. I just wish I could memorize them all for whenever a good quotation is needed.
I think I have developed my own aphorism – don’t know if it counts or not, and it’s definitely not near as good as yours, but here goes: Alcoholics Anonymous is the public forum where people swap one addiction for another.
Anyway, thanks again for signing my copy of Glimpse – it is truly a work of art! Good luck with the rest of your signings.

So very kind of you to write, Joy! It was a pleasure to read there and I’m glad you’re enjoying the book. Spread the good word!! :)
