Thanks to derek beaulieu, Jason Christie, Chris Ewart, Andre Rodrigues, Sandy Lam, Natalie Walschots, Ed Schmutz, Jonathan Ball, Jordan Scott, ryan fitzpatrick, Jill Hartman, Paul Kennett, Nicole Markotic, Louis Cabri, Suzette Mayr, Tom Wayman, Melanie Little, Peter Norman, Natalie Simpson, Julia Williams, Dennis Cooley, and of course Robert Kroetsch for making my Calgary experience such a memorable one.
We launched Post-Prairie at McNally Robinson and it was one of the best experiences of my literary life. The response to the book has been very encouraging. There is some wonderful innovative poetry being written in Calgary these days and I'm thrilled that RK and I had a chance to anthologize a taste of it.
I met so many people I've been dying to meet and I did have a few drinks...

extremely cool, congrats! & its a good lookin' book, johnny-boy. you should be pleased (even if you cant bowl as well as nathaniel g. moore....)
calgary = jon's a pussy. all you did while you were here was walk around at our house party with no pants on, for some strange reason, and flip everyone the bird. thanks. there was so much you left out of your lukewarm calgary writeup. for eg: how was the herb and vag pizza? seriously, though you left a bunch of broken hearts here. derek said he was sorry for gluing your eyes shut every night. ewart says his ass is sore. jordan said YOU LIKE IT! and then made a 'suck it' motion while standing on the couch. we miss you jon. love derek, jason, jordan, and chris. the world must know! mwaaaa haaaa haaaaa haaaaa haaaaa haaa... um. see you again soon?
you people are sick. i'm already looking at condos in kensington.
I have been wondering for a long time how I could receive more clicks to my Adsense Ads on my blog. From day one, it has been a sore matter that I have received not a single, not a lone, indeed, nary a click to my Adsense Ads. What's wrong with my blog? This is not a new problem. For generations, my family has struggled through many hardships, struggled and survived -- and all in vain, for neither I nor any member of my family has received a SINGLE click on an Adsense Ads. The world is cruel, indeed. I desire little, and ask for less. A FREE and legitimate way to increase my earnings? It seems forever beyond my reach. I beg, all of you who read this blog (which is, apparently, much more popular than my own), please, PLEASE explain to me what an Adsense Ad is. And how to post one on my blog. And then check my blog daily and click on the Adsense Ad as soon as it is posted. Click multiple times. It will make my great-grandfather, who dedicated his life to a failed attempt to import Adsense Ads to this country, shed a smiling tear in Heaven.
that beats me. poetry at its best.
Any Edmonton readings / launch on the horizon?
i wish, mingus... i don't think it's in the cards.
'Tis a fine anthology.
