respect

The mighty Kim Gek Lin Short has a blog, and on it she has written about the voices in my chapbook.

And Steven Allen May, a few months ago, w/ some kind words.

And several months ago, Stan Mir on Old News.

Thanks, folks.

overheard

At 4th & South:

"I'm the only Duck driver brave enough to say it: Punk Rock Girl."
