good verse to go
We haven’t posted much lately because we’re busy packing, and busy seeing friends who live here, as much as we can, before we go. (Yes, we are working on it.) But packing means discovering what you own duplicates for, and what books you really don’t need. I’ve been taking all the bad or mediocre poetry down the street to our local used bookshop (except for the bad or mediocre poetry I need, for some reason, to keep). But I’ve found a couple of good or great ones I own two of, or own in two versions, or in at least one case own three of. Let me know if you want one of my duplicate books by any of: Rae Armantrout, Diane Glancy, Seamus Heaney, Paul Muldoon, Charles Reznikoff, Lisa Robertson. First come, first serve, and no requests honored after about July 1, when the rest of the books go to the used bookstore. Shipping is free.
Also on offer: a random package of literary magazines I’ve decided not to move. There could be gold in them thar virtually uncut pages…

Hi Steve - I’ll take some Lisa Robertson & Charles Reznikoff. Particularly (but not only) if you have Testimony or The Weather. Hope the move’s going well!

I’ll take any of the Lisa R. which you don’t send to Linnea (bar ‘Six Walks’) and anything by Diane.
Thanks!

And I’ll take any Lisa Robertson not already given away. Which at this point seems like none. Rats.

I’d love the literary magazines! I reckon I could even come pick them up, if that would be easier for y’all. Thanks and good luck - P.

Hi Steve and Jessie,
I would ecstatically take the Armantrout, Muldoon or Reznikoff (tho I see someone’s already staked their claim). I’m leaving for Europe and further on Monday, so I’ll e-mail my address before then. This is kind of you, thanks. And good luck with your move.
