I'm glad he ditched economics, too!Elaine Magliarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09829330276633865868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2373615867496327293.post-27820167202570238072008-04-05T10:01:00.000-04:002008-04-05T10:01:00.000-04:00What a great interview!

I've been waiting to read it when I knew I'd have some quiet time to soak it in. <BR/><BR/>"Poetry in America is the daft cousin we tend to keep sequestered" -- I love it. And I agree that Creative Editions makes some beautiful books. <BR/><BR/>I can't wait to see some of these new titles, particularly the ones with Innocenti. <BR/><BR/>I'm so glad he ditched economics for poetry (uh, no offense to the distinguished field of economics, but I'm glad he's bringing poetry to us is what I mean).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2373615867496327293.post-20332852527394988512008-04-04T16:33:00.000-04:002008-04-04T16:33:00.000-04:00Great interview, Elaine!

I really appreciate his advice: "...Great interview! I really appreciate his advice: "don't wait around for an editor to call" I better wake up! And I am chagrined to hear, "the fact is that the young are happy to wing it on very limited vocabularies." That might have been me... (no longer young but still sometimes winging it...)<BR/><BR/>FYI I couldn't get here from your comment at Becky's Book Reviews. I think you left the "s" out of "blogspot" in your address. I got an error message and had to look closely to see it.Andromeda Jazmonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12355192738014962965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2373615867496327293.post-43221845675904186302008-04-04T09:00:00.000-04:002008-04-04T09:00:00.000-04:00:) As a kid, I ADORED mantises for the same reason...:) As a kid, I ADORED mantises for the same reason J.
