GoodWordEditing.com: I Ignore My Family to Read Poetry

    Love the fajitas and casitas thing. He's a marvelous poet. Any way to order direct from John?

    Your poem is terrific too.

    Were you the one who told me about this publisher? They have some very interesting looking poetry (or interesting sounding, rather):

    L.L., I don't think you can order direct from John. Just the publisher. Though ordering from Amazon.com helps raise his ranking there, so I don't know what's best.

    Heather, wordfarm published a book of poems called Tabloid News (on their homepage, I believe) by John Leax. Hilarious and awesome poems. You can read an excerpt here: http://www.wordfarm.net/books/0974342769/

    As an aside, John Poch also edits one of my favorite journals: 32 Poems. While John Leax has a fun online journal called Stonework Journal.

    Ordered. But it doesn't really come through Amazon. It's one of those "available from these sellers" deals.

    i like the part about the cave of covers with a book light

    LL, that's how I got it too.

    Nancy, the cave of covers is merely factual. It's where I do most of my reading. When the *&?!#*$&! book light works.

    Marcus,
    I like the "Windows Symphonic Sigh" part. That is something I've always wanted to put into words but could not figure out how to do.
