JC - Yes, I want actors on every streetcorner in Hollywood acting out these poems by 8am tomorrow morning.
And I want them to have the lines down cold.

He’s done it again, inspired by my 10 Steps to Becoming a Better Writer and a bottle of Mirror Pond Pale Ale (the beer actually co-stars).

I’ve been spreading your site to my kindred across the country. Love it. I too have guns and knives and write poems but they are purely cathartic. I couldn’t help but make the connection between your Scottish name and the Scottish tradition of poetry, written or impromptu, being a masculine tradition. I’ve spent years teaching young men who are incarcerated to use poetry as a form of self expresson but it has never been an easy sell. Anyway, thanks.
