I would also give anything to be lingering in Dog Ears Books and checking out the offerings. Will have to wait until Thursday and visit Snowbound Books in Marquette. That is also always a treat.Kathyhttp://upwoods.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130421352415377273.post-85545021955105779422013-11-01T08:48:21.018-07:002013-11-01T08:48:21.018-07:00POETRY IN MICHIGAN -- Poets I know (not necessaril...POETRY IN MICHIGAN -- Poets I know (not necessarily close friends but at least nodding acquaintances) in this beautiful anthology: Michael Delp, Jack Driscoll, Stuart Dybek, Dan Gerber, Jim Harrison, Conrad Hillberry (friend of friends), Thomas Lynch (friend of friends), Judith Minty, Anne-Marie Oomen, Mary Ann Samyn (has done reading at Dog Ears Books), Teresa Scollon (has done reading at Dog Ears Books), Herbert Scott (friend of friends), Diane Seuss, John Woods (old Kalamazoo friend).

Quite thought-provoking. My dream for this book would be to have mixed groups of Democrats and Republicans (and other polarized factions) read it together and discuss it. Failing that, I will simply urge everyone I know to read it and think about it.<br /><br />Will get back to you on the "poets we know," but we might know different poets!P. J.

Frustrating...but then I find myself formulating arguments while only half listening to THEM...and I realize how difficult this whole debate thing is. I'm trying to hear the other side. It's not easy.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00824027366993286152noreply@blogger.com
