I am going to proceed with Grood poetry as soon as I've caught all my breath. Spent the weekend in the DC area with Emily's family which was nice but stressful. Did get to spend some time with my old friend Chris and also went to Bridge Street Books in Georgetown for the first time, where I found one of the finest poetry selections I've ever seen (rivaled only by Cody's in Berkeley and St. Mark's Bookshop in New York). Anyway, I'm still getting back into the groove of life in Ithaca. In the meantime, I recommend that y'all read this lucid and eloquent post on the poetry market by Mr. Gary Norris.
