For some reason I imagined you lived in a cabin when I looked at your picture.
I'd like if you did...and if you do...here's what I'd like to do...
I want to set up two desks facing each other that both contain a computer, a pot of coffee, and a stack of books. Then I want to write that way with you from 6 in the morning to 6 at night.
Then I want to compare.
Well, shit...I guess that would be fun with anybody. But, in your case, I imagine it taking place in a cabin.
Hope things are good and keep up the good work, man!
Hey Matthew,
The IC is great. I surprisingly LOVE it, even if it is in the Midwest. And as for Ishpeming, if you haven't already published it, I bet you could in PANK. Seems like something they would like...
Hey. I just read about your big prize win in Poets and Writers. Congrats. I love that list you have of writers. You should almost get a prize for that, too.
So strange how small the world is. Ander and Samantha and looking at your list--Catie and Deb and Susan and Stacey and Stacey etc etc. It is social networking. Publishing is more like political organizine than anything else.
Good to hear from you you Matthew. Yes indeed this is the only socializing I seem to have time for. Sam Hunt is on your list twice. Yes I think she is that good.
That, seriously, is a list to go to town in. I copied it down. I'd add Jane Bowles. Antonya Nelson. Mary Gaitskill. Tessa Hadley. Sigrid Nunez. Cynthia Ozick. Grace Paley.

since this book list lacks female authors, may i suggest mary karr. "the liars club" and "cherry" were both amazing.
and heather o' neill, "lullabies for little criminals" is easily the best book i've read in a very long time.

Thanks, Matthew!
Now, you rule.
Hey Matthew!
You need some favorite books written by women, not that you asked my opinion, but, um, that's what noticed.
Hey, you're here. Great!
