I was thinking of being obnoxious and making rules about Christmas this year, like "You can't buy me anything new. . . you must make me something. . . or buy something at a thrift store. . .or maybe on ebay if you email back and forth with the seller a little." But who am I to say what I can and can't be given, right?
Anyway, there's this girl Shannon Burns and she writes poetry which is delicious, and furthermore she came to visit my Poetry class and she told us about her muse, Mark Leidner, and as it would turn out his writing is simply scrumptious, and I'm hoping for a Christmas full of wonderful cheap Chapbooks under ten dollars, which are just fantastic small editions of not-so-known poetry, like
The Night Of 1,000 Murders by
Mark Leidner
from
Factory Hollow Or maybe something from
Ugly Duckling Press.
