One: Mil gracias to Small Press Distribution for including “Getting Ronald Reagan to Visit the South Bronx” in their New Lit Generation list of poems. I (re)wrote the poem in exchange for a Quincy Troupe book (They had a free book for a poem offer and that was the poem, with major edits, that I was able to drop from memory.) I thought it was a pretty fair deal at that time but this makes it much sweeter.
Two: My wife tops SPD’s January poetry bestseller list.
Dat is all…
Well, that gets a big Woot!
Just be sure to remember the little folks when you’re all accepting the Nobels later down the line.
