My summer reading picks (and others’) on the No Tell Motel blog May 21, 2009
Posted by catiporter in Books, Poemeleon, Poetry.trackback
I’m sitting here revising my manuscript (al)most delicious (the one after Modigliani’s nudes) when really I should be cleaning up the house in preparation for the babysitter this evening (Pharmaka reading tonight — Jeannine, I’m going to read your LTW poem! And Ren’s! As well as my own. Unless you mind?), or out renting videos/video games to keep the boys busy while the sitter’s here.
Taking just an itty bitty moment to point you all to the No Tells blog where they are running a series of posts on recommended summer reading. So pop on over there and have a look if you’re so inclined.
Also, I’ve posted the note that’s circulating from Salt Publishing’s director over at Poemeleon: The Blog. They’re really in need of our help right now. This morning I bought Shaindel Beers’ A Brief History of Time, as well as Reb Livingston & Ravi Shankar’s Wanton Textiles (from No Tell Books, supporting them too while I’m throwing my money around; in Reb’s “What the authors are saying about this book” quote, Reb says “Its like pornography for your underpants,” which made me laugh.) As someone — Jeannine? — recommended Reb for future Gurlesque-ish reading, I thought I’d pick this one up. I love that it’s a collaboration, and am anxious to see how they’ve pulled that off.
Hope to see some of you tonight — I plan to read some from the Desire series as well a couple from my book!
Hi-Ho-Hi-Ho!
Thanks for sending your recommendations to No Tell, for promoting No Tell Books and of course, for your purchase!
Of course – thanks Cati! Wish I could be there in person – still (!!) recovering from this May-upper-respiratory-thing!
