Talking Points

* Netflix "Black Books" today. Trust me.

* Give my regards to Mace Windu. Must to use my mutant powers to jinx more carefully. 0-3...yep, 0-4.

* What happened to the alternating editorship of the Best American Poetry Series? Creeley to Komunyakaa to Hejinian to what's his name to Billy Collins? Is there any doubt that it'll be Kooser next? Nope. Do I care about the Best American Poetry 2006 or any other edition of this brokedick series? No. Jennifer L. Knox is in '06--she's cool. I report, you decide.

* The Crush List is updated. Poetic Power Rankings is updated. Douchebag Week in development.

* Iron Spidey? OK, I'll bite. But when is DC gonna bring back Doom Patrol? And let me write it?

* I have a strict no anthology policy (not that they asked). So howcome *you* aren't in Legitimate Dangers: American Poets of the New Century [Sarabande] edited by Cate Marvin and Michael Dumanis? For poet's students and mommies *only* at a mere $24! Jarnot, Spahr and McSweeney plus everyone who's not in this anthology would make an even better anthology. Well...I'd maybe keep 7 poets. Can you guess who?
