got it today and read it today and loved it today. will read it tomorrow. will probably love it tomorrow, but who can say? go on a self-promotion tour and read at the art gallery under my new apartment. my fridge has SO MANY colt 45s. you can have 1-2 before you read. ok, so it's set. see you soon.

Just finished "Sometimes my heart pushes my ribs" at a local CD/Vinyl shop in Gainesville, FL. Really loved Orange. Nice work :)

Ian DeCelli said...

The poet laureate of New Hampshire really really likes your poems "I Went to the Grocery Store Today" and "I Made the Man at the Grocery Store Nervous".

I ordered the signed and surprise package. but it came without the surprise, unless the surprise was there is no surprise, and it came without the signature. Tao then just sent me another copy of the book, which is nice because now each eye has one and they don't have to fight. out of interest what was the surprise?

i bought your book sometime ago and have now read it in the cafeteria, the floor near my locker, on my bed, the floor near my bed, aloud to my history class and lent it to countless others. you are somewhat inspiring and very great. you should read my blog sometime.

Ellen Kennedy! I love your little book. I keep giving/sending it to friends; I've had to buy it like four times, now I'm broke forever, thanks thanks. Move to Portland OR so we can get married! I guess I could move to Pennsylvania, since I'll probably end up back on the east coast again anyway, but I don't know. Pennsylvania? You'd really owe me.

Unknown said...

Why did Ellen Kennedy tell me to call landlines in Newfoudland and Missouri?

I want to call but am afraid of being disappointed when the messiah does not answer and instead it's like some old maid named Terri with 2 cocker spaniels.

this google account is not necessarily mine, it's the email of my school's paper's Opinions/Editorials section. I share it with another editor. I am also afraid of what will happen if I post this comment.
but I need to know about the numbers thing. aside from that I enjoyed the book very much.

Just got your book in the mail. I like cover. It makes me happy. I look forward to reading it. G

Ellen, I just bought your book and really loved it.

My partner and I read it in bed together, and my voice started cracking near the end when I said "Woody Allen" because it made me sad, being both sad and also ineffably touching.

The vision of a hamster tumbling around in its wheel and re-orienting itself is a very sad image that I feel like I can identify with startlingly well.
