    Check this out, folks - currently free on Amazon, for Kindle (and you can get a free Kindle app for your PC).

    So, those two+ years I spent being mentored by real poets and fiction writers in a skin and bones program were for naught? All those workshop hours and nasty critiques were simply a fool's errand--those lasting contacts meaningless? I will kill myself. Only in America could we hope to achieve our goals via a free Kindle edition... ; )

    Intelligence? Creativity? Genius? Talent? Craft? Wisdom? Humanity? Experience?

    "There's an app for that..."

    God bless Amur'ca!!

    calm yourselves, lest you be called dull dinosaurs by the <a href="http://youthandmedia.org/projects/digital-natives/">digital natives</a> who constitute a larger and larger part of your audience: this is just a book with a samsonite title. just a book. the electronic version of a book, which you can also buy on paper. in fact, in europe you cannot get the kindle version of it. figures, because we also don't do MFAs (or rather, our writers don't usually have them, so we're more relaxed perhaps).

    (i'm writing this shortly before my morning writing session on a mechanical typewriter, an olivetti lettera 32 so don't call me because i won't hear the phone. seriously, i write all my stuff on that thing first).

    love my kindle, too...

    Does this "Portable MFA" offer the skin on your right arm the radiant warmth of a large fleshy poet sitting next to you at a table as you toast each other with shots of Jameson? Or provoke you with micro tears you must covertly brush away when you hear something read by a nondescript bespectacled woman, all quavery voice? Or whisper to you the suspicion that sometimes, when the stars align, when the barometric pressure is ideal, when your hair is just so, you can string words together pretty damn well?

    Because that would be neat.
