I believe I've settled on the poetry text for my creative writing course next semester. Mike, a lecturer in the English department, recommended it to me, and even gave me an extra desk copy he'd received. Garrison Keillor is a terribly humorous writer and radio show host on the National Public Radio. I love listening to him on The Writer's Almanac. In Good Poems, he selects 350 poems from the thousands he's read for the show, and they're very good ones.
Apart from this, not much success in the work department. I've got a heap of essays and journals to grade. I think I'll lock myself in the office tomorrow and work very, very hard.
This week's The New Yorker is a cartoon issue, which should be fun. I spotted some Charlie Brown in there. And there's a new Sedaris essay too.

Posted by: tiggie at November 23, 2004 6:45 PMoh, didn't know subscriptions are limited to the US. I'm sure the bookshops in Edinburgh would sell individual copies. Borders in Singapore does that. It's actually a weekly. If I move back to SG next year, I'm going to miss all these literary mags!
