Today The Penguin Book of Greek and Latin Lyric Verse turns 0! If you pre-ordered it from the UK, presumably it has shipped. If you want to read it on Kindle, presumably you can. If you want to order a signed copy from me, we can discuss that too.

Here’s a picture of me and two winners of the Frost Farm Poetry prize. This year it was @ChrisChildersoO. @bbrodeurpoet won 2 years ago and this year he was my instructor in “Brief Lyric”. Both of these guys are crazy good poets and wonderful to chat with!
