Monday: Shameless Self-Promotion Day
Bloggers like to play games. Bloggers also like attention. So do poets. Come to think of it, I guess all people like a little attention every once in a while. So, in that spirit, I’d like to introduce a new, weekly feature of the Mad Poets Blog — Shameless Self-Promotion Day.
Every Monday, I (or one of the other MPS bloggers) will start a Shameless Self-Promotion post, shamelessly plugging some event or other in which we’re participating, be it as featured reader, host, or even excited audience member. In response, you dear readers, are invited to add comments shamelessly plugging something that you’ve got going on. A reading. A book. A new website or blog. Whatever it is, we want to know. Did I mention that this is your opportunity to be totally shameless??
And if you don’t have anything, checking the thread will probably give you some good leads to help you plan your week in poetry.
Let the games begin.

Starting April 28th, I’ll be teaching a class called Poetry as Memoir through the Mt. Airy Learning Tree, in the Mt. Airy section of Philadelphia. You should totally sign up. It’s gonna be fun.
I haven’t any readings in the immediate future, but why not make me (and my publisher) very happy by buying a copy of my chapbook, “Swimming.” Just pop on over to Maverick Duck Press (http://www.maverickduckpress.com/catalog.htm) and scroll down to find my book.
“Swimming” contains 25 poems including one Pushcart Prize nomination and the poem that won First Prize at the 2005 Philadelphia Writers’ Conference. It’s a steal at $5! Go on…make my day!!
It’s not Monday, but I’m a poet, so being late is no surprise:
I don’t have any readings in the immediate future, either, but I’m a damn fine blogger. Go read my other blog, Metrophobic.
And post some of your own self-promotion, kids!
Well…I do have a few books floating around. I’m even willing to give a few away for a few more days. 5 days left in NPM, so why not get some free reading material, no? You can email me and if I pull your name out of the hat, you’ll get a free chapbook. Or, go to www.maverickduckpress.com and pick up something from someone other than the chunky guy.
