memed. This is going to be tough. Here are the rules:
Say someone asked me, "I kind of like poetry, but I don't know anything about contemporary poetry. Who should I read?"
No personal friends, mentors, or blogroll buddies are eligible, sorry.
- Joy Harjo
- Rita Dove
- Sharon Olds
- Philip Levine
- Li-Young Lee
- Kim Addonizio
- Denise Levertov
- Michael Ondaatje
- Louise Gluck
- Denise Duhamel
- Afaa Michael Weaver
- Eve Alexander
- Charles Bukowski
I'm not following the living poet rule...but since I memed myself, I don't have to follow all the rules, do I?

In other news...I printed and ordered my thesis and made a table of contents. I have a manuscript!!

Well hell, I made up almost all of those rules just for myself. You probably could have ignored them all. :-)
Well...if I didn't follow the rules it would have been too easy. This way, I had to think a little bit.
Congrats on the manuscript! It's a good feeling, no? ;)
You should have seen me bouncing around the English department, showing everyone who would give the tiniest little bit of enthusiasm with me. It was amazing!
