THE ANNUAL UGH

Well, hello! I'm taking a much-needed coffee break from preparing my 2011 Taxes as a Poet. Haven't finished the tally yet but it looks dismal; 2011 may end up being one of my worst years yet, Thank You Great Recession!


Which is to say, it's worth nota bene-ing my first non-author customer for 2012. Thank you, Dia Foundation, for ordering -- and paying for (as some of youse louses don't!) -- Meritage Press books! You all should too!

Sigh...mutter mutter over these bathetic poetry economics....
