Latest Dance Craze: 09.10
http://latestdancecraze.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Is this blog still breathing? If so, and I'd argue that it is (if barely), here's a found poem with text taken from this article. And you thought the earth cared. The Earth Doesn’t Care About You. Six million years ago the Mediterranean dried up. Ninety million years ago there were alligators. In the Arctic. Three hundred million years ago. Northern Europe was a desert and coal formed. In Antarctica. One thing we know for sure,. He says to me, is that people weren’t involved. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

If you have a different "take" on Middlesex. Please share it below. I'm curious to see how other's responded to this book. And while I began this project with Angela's Ashes. 160;in t...

Both looking like they wanted out. She continued: “It was like the scene from Spirited Away—have any of you seen that? For someone w...

http://latestdancecraze.blogspot.com/2010/02/12-books-12-months-10-years.html
12 Books, 12 Months, 10 Years. In searching out intelligent blogs on writing and poetics, I came across Nick Lantz's. 160;(which you can find.

You can't flip on the television or surf the net without a picture of Sarah Palin popping on-screen. The hockey-mom, the lipstick-on-a-pig, the perpetrator of conservative wet-dreams the world over, Palin is pushing her book. 160;with a small-town book tour cutting through the small swatches of the counties carried by the McCain-Palin ticket in 2008 in states that (surprise!

Latest Dance Craze: Twelve Twelve Ten: March 2010
http://latestdancecraze.blogspot.com/2010/03/twelve-twelve-ten-march-2010.html
Twelve Twelve Ten: March 2010. If you came looking for John Smolens’ The Anarchist. I’m sorry to say that I must disappoint. Given my abbreviated time schedule (having finished Middlesex. Near the middle of the month), I decided to jump ahead to Vonnegut’s Look at the Birdie. So that I would have the entire month of April to focus on The Anarchist. To make it up to y’all, I have a two-for-one Vonnegut month with reviews of both Look at the Birdie. For new comers to the 12/12/10 project, read about it here.

The One In Which He Turns Sage. Perhaps this is not the right way to open a new year of blogging, especially on the tail-end of a many-week hiatus from blogging and especially given my recent reading of a slew of articles talking about the erosion of privacy rights in the wake of Facebook and the proliferation of blogging. (Will this blog keep me from being president? Hopefully.) However, here I sit drinking cold Sierra Nevada after yet another mind-draining night of teaching. But what about herpes?

Gilbert is a classic backdrop,. Stage-sets. He’s panoramically rural,. He’s intimate piazza and stone. Fountain. He’s an allegoric ring.

Twelve Twelve Ten: April 2010. Along with a handful of others). Anyway, on to the reviews. The list for April:. The Brief and Frightening Reign of Phil.
