Hello, ecantwell, nice to (finally) see you in my mailbox today. And—AND!—SPD sent me a free Paul Hoover book to boot, so double sweet.

Y'all should obviously go buy this, too, and not just for the possibility of free Paul Hoover poems.

ecantwell replied to your post: An inconclusive rant

Yeah, I struggle with this. I tend to not post a lot of my own poetry - and I have a few times gone back and deleted something off my blog if I want to submit it to a “real” publication. They’d never be able to tell that it once got 8 notes.

The problem is reblogs -- even if you delete them from your blog they still exist as reblogs. It's only when you go to the source that it says it doesn't exist. Not to mention I'm dealing with one person who posted a couple of my poems independently with no link back AND changed the title of one and added a title to another.

Have you ever been to the Air & Space Museum in DC?

Yup. The one on the Mall and Udvar-Hazy. Love. Too much awesome science-y stuff.

The Mysterious Cereal Box

…is it Canadian? More to the point, is it from Quebec?

Yes, I believe it is Canadian, but I don't think it's from Quebec.

This is kind of like one of those ancient Mayan legends about how the turtle got his shell or something. How did the corn pop get his cinnamon coating? NOW WE KNOW.

Yes, if the turtle's shell was once the internal organs of his dear friend.

I refuse to believe this is real (as in, actually printed on a box of cereal).

What do I have to do to convince you?
