Poetry Giveaway!

By -
The Gigantic Sequins Editors' blog is participating in the Book of Kells 2010 National Poetry Month Poetry Book Giveaway this upcoming April. Guidelines, if you are a blogger and would like to participate, can be found here.

And here is what Gigantic Sequins is giving away ---

A copy of our editor-in-chief's one and only poetry chapbook, unstill and, also, a copy of Refusing Heaven by the great Jack Gilbert. All you have to do is, at some point between NOW and APRIL 30th, you must comment on THIS blogpost. By commenting, you've signed up for this giveaway--- yes, giveaway. Your name will be entered into a hat, and two random winners will receive either unstill or Refusing Heaven.

Meanwhile, keep up with this blog during the month of April-- if you can. We will be celebrating National Poetry month, announcing release event dates and writing about random and all things literary, per usual.

[ I will replace this line of text with a picture of each of the books being given away as soon as I scan them. ]

Saying Farewell to a Writer and Friend: David Markson

By -
June 5, 2010 :: elegy in essay form I found out this morning via Jim Behrle's facebook and then his twitter that David Markson has passed away. "David Markson has died." Behrle doesn't blither. Quick search on the web, and I've got nothing, but this makes sense to me. Markson, a giant of postmodernism-- if you're true to the word-- maintained closer friendships than he courted publicity. His life and work are intertwined, and his memory will live on in those he touched as well as in his works of art. Perhaps I find my method of discovery at his passing ironic considering Markson himself would have never found out about anything the way I did. He would tell me, visiting the poetry and literary non-fiction stacks of Strand Bookstore, how he still used a typewriter to write, wrote things down on notecards when planning his novels, only took calls on his landline and didn't feel he had any need for a cell phone or computer. It wasn't that he was against te

my weekly book purchases: 3/13/09 this week, i followed most of my rules. one full-priced (the Jack Gilbert), the rest dollar books. the bad thing about my book-buying, is that it comes at the end of my week (either Friday or Saturday), which means that i am usually over or too close to my $100 / week spending limit (yes, this is impossible, and i ALWAYS go over. always.) one of these weeks, i will buy books, and the purchases will not cause me to go over my limit. and i will be impressed and amazed with myself. i bought two poetry books, a book of essays and a novel, which is about right. i like poetry because you don't have to read poem books cover to cover, but can just browse, or read the first few, throw a bookmark in it, then the next few, etc. alright, here are my righteous finds this week... Gilbert, Jack. Refusing Heaven . New York: Knopf, 2005. [hardcover] I bought Jack Gilbert's The Great Fires over the summer after removing it off of the shelf, reading a few poems
