I heard that POETRY is seeking to up their circulation with poet centerfolds and their poems. You are sure to dominate the magazine for years to come! I am springy with joy for you!
All day I've been walking around saying goddamn goddamn goddamn the way you say it when something really spectacularly good happens if you're a potty mouth. Goddamn girl I say it's about time. I always believed in my black little heart that the cream will rise to the top and now it has and I love Poetry and might even get me a subscription just because of this because they finally showed some moxie and intelligence and I'm just so goddamned happy for you I'm twirling and cursing to beat the band. love, Rebecca
I would like to claim to have been one of the first to recognize your genius but I bet Whimsy beat me to the punch. Goddamn.
Seriously. I can't help myself. This makes me happier than cake and Jesus put together.
Okay. What's with the Tuscan Whole Milk? Are there other products the secret poet society has secretly agreed to mock, leaving the non-poets slack-jawed with their ignorance of the sniggering laughter all around them? How does one get in the loop?
Tuscan Whole Milk is just an old meme--a bunch of internet people all got together to write satiric milk reviews on Amazon like five years ago. At one point they drove the price up to $2500, it was very expensive milk for a while. Try browsing the Amazon WTF tag some time!
Sarah Jane, have you friended Scrooge McDuck on Facebook yet? It is a must if you like money
well, thanks to you I dang well might subscribe to POETRY again. Is "Double Rainbow Across the Sky" the name of your poem? If it isn't I think you should change it.
No but the real title is full of colors in its way!
There are good Matthew Zapruder and David Shapiro poems in the current issue, plus a review of Robert Hass from Michael Robbins that made me actually laugh out loud. I THINK it's the same Michael Robbins who had Alien vs. Predator in the New Yorker last year, that would make sense
I usually read it in the bookstore and then decide whether to buy it or not
Niice! Congrats!!
ReplyDeleteGo, you! Fifty million times over!
ReplyDeleteI am wigging right now
ReplyDeleteThat is fan-f*cking-tastic, Trish. Just fabulous.
ReplyDeleteWait,wait,wait.
ReplyDeleteJust wondering. Did you get the acceptance BEFORE or AFTER your bikini shots?
T'anks Harry!
ReplyDeleteJeff--it was AFTER! Do you think they worked a magic?
Wow! Congratulations, that's awesome. I felt giddy just reading that, I can't imagine how you must feel!
ReplyDeleteWell I took two Benadryl last night so I mostly felt groggy and like it was maybe part of a vivid diphenhydramine dream
ReplyDeleteHow awesome! Love, love, love the title of this post.
ReplyDeleteIt's the kind of metaphor I'm best at, ones involving fat babies

ReplyDeleteWV: whang. Coincidence?
Blogger's word verifications are never a coincidence, they are positively psychic these days
