I am loving his work, and you can bet I am HIGHLY motivated to pay for more.tanita✿davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671822274852087499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10890387.post-7625507662012466272007-12-21T09:30:00.000-08:002007-12-21T09:30:00.000-08:00I thought that the Guardian Blog post was an apt r...I thought that the Guardian Blog post was an apt response to Wendy Cope's article about copyright infringement. While I understand (and have shared) Cope's frustration with people photocopying her poems and sending them out to all their friends, I do think it stands an artist in good stead to offer some of his or her works for free and say, "Okay, now, if you liked those, then please consider buying this." The musician John Vanderslice has lots of free mp3 downloads on his site, and he shakes his head in wonder when he goes to other bands' sites that have one free song, and it's streaming media. Generosity of spirit goes a long way in terms of publicity, I think.Saints and Spinnershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733517166056974501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10890387.post-64809958252932267502007-12-17T18:14:00.000-08:002007-12-17T18:14:00.000-08:00Hey, TadMack.

I'll have to check out that piece in The Nation. <BR/><BR/>I know you're a Grace Paley fan, so wanted to let you know that there are 2 poems by her in the current (12/24-31) issue of The New Yorker. And they're available online! Yay. I linked 'em at the blog today.<BR/><BR/>www.newyorker.com<BR/><BR/>Stay warm. It's cold as all get-out here, too, but not below zero.

I used to feel a bit odd hanging around the children's section of the library, but I'm mostly over that. Thanks for all you do, too! And stay warm over there.Jen Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10343476550309656223noreply@blogger.com
