A HUGE 6-Month Long Shakespeare Festival is going to be hosted in D.C. in 2007. If all goes well at Catholic University for me, I'll be here for that. :-)
National Poetry Month (which is in April--far over now), is bad for poetry?

"next great" sounds like he is still alive. I read the article, seems like a good candidate poet to revamp critical evaluation of British modernism poetry.
Another literary headline: Chuck Palakniuk's newest is a collection of 23 short stories called Haunted. While not everybody may enjoy his visceral portrayal of sometimes disturbing subject matter, his writing is great. I like his style - part punchy and part Faulkner - and his always creative ideas about the interesting litle things that we find in daily life.
2007 is a long time to wait for the Shakespeare festival... I'm desperately trying to see if I can get up to Stratford sometime this summer... anybody want to come?
Another Shakespeare note: At Border last night I saw this wonderful journal (one of those magnetic flap, nice cover ones that Dana has) but instead of scroll work or something similar on the cover it had a Shakespearian manuscript and his signature on the flap.
Travis got a profile picture. Nice.
I also have profile-friendly information about myself. And a chastened knowledge that statements like "Brooks's new books" requires two "s"s in the word "Brooks." As a rule.
I get flustered when I write out profile information. Is this something that I need to do in drafts and have you all edit? :-P
