I've been very busy at work this week and this blog has suffered somewhat. here are some good things:
Borders and its subsidiary Waldenbooks will not stock an upcoming issue of the magazine Free Inquiry -- there's your irony of the day -- because it contains those controversial Mohammed cartoons that gave an excuse for radicals to stage riots across the Middle East. I guess Borders thinks Muslims have longer attention spans than most people, since no one's written a word about that story in the last two months.
Long piece on Copper Canyon Press, the preeminent publisher of poetry in the U.S., in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Copper Canyon published one of my prized possessions, The Complete Poems of Kenneth Rexroth, as well as the June Jordan anthology co-edited by my friend Sara, a book up for a Northern California Book Award. They do a beautiful job with the kind of books you want on your shelves for the rest of your life.
A Lewis Carroll seminar gets underway today at Univ. of So. Cal.
