I’m honored our conversation made your blog! I present next Monday, and I’m so grateful for your time and editorial knowledge. Your blog addresses so many of the considerations that shapes the discussions in our class, and while I don’t think a teleconference will be possible due to time considerations, I’m sure my publishing class will be thrilled to read both the journal and the blog. Thanks again!
Allison

Lovely poem. For the sake of accuracy, I believe they’re Canada Geese.

Comment on Congressional Representation for Nature by Kathleen Kirk

This is a fascinating concept! Thanks for posting it so I can think about it! I heard on NPR yesterday about a proposed “tax” on plastic grocery bags that would encourage people to bring their reusable cloth bags to the gorcery store. I have been doing that whenever possible! Several recent art exhibits have reminded us of the trouble with plastic bags! Perhaps the environment will find a way to sue us on this plastic bag issue.

This is the best thing i have read all week/month. One of the many creative ways we can outsmart the FCC playing quarterback for the telecoms with the 1996 telecommunications act that prohibits questioning the placement of a cell tower for health reasons. Their population reduction, mind control scheme will take some of us out but when more people realize what is going on taking a cell tower out by whatever means necessary becomes an act of self defense and survival. I imagine at some point this argument can be defended in court.

Answering late: I was in Gainesville from 9 months old to 5 years old, when my dad taught there, so long ago that there was an actual alligator mascot in an actual pool on the campus.

Writing now to share the good news that my chapbook, “Living on the Earth,” which had been a runner-up in your Anabiosis Press contest when it was called “Living on the Moon” is now revised and the winner of an honorable mention in the Finishing Line Press New Women’s Voices competition. As a finalist, it will be published in 2010! It contains the poems “Resurrection on the 4th of July” and “The End of the Garden,” which you published in Albatross, for which I thank you! You are already credited in the manuscript!!

Just discovered your blog via twitter–I like it. And also #20–my favorites Linda King, William Keener (I love the way each image resonants with its follower), Andy Roberts, and Michael Shorb (his contrarian persona reminds me of our “Viking” cousins up in Grand Marais, MN–a different perspective from my own, but then I don’t count on that deer for my winter’s meat supply).
The contents of Albatross vividly reflect my own world-view (don’t you hate words like “world-view”–but at the moment I can’t think of a better phrase).
