Rumble Seat | San Francisco Bay Press

New Poetry Collection from Jeffrey Hecker & SFBP Check the link for sample pages.

Rumble Seat is-- as the title suggest-- a wild ride. Jeff Hecker is a smart but daring driver, someone a reader learns to trust and fear. You can't help but admire his amazing vision, his ability to both build a road and steer at the same time. I read poetry to be knocked out of my daily stupor.

Sometimes It's Okay To Judge A Book by Its Cover

I sorta agree here.

A cover, like it or not, sets the mood for a book. And while that might not make a big difference when I'm reading non-fiction, it makes a big difference when I'm reading poetry.

Breaking up is hard: Poems a tough fit in e-form - Taiwan News Online

I've run into this problem even in the formatting of printed poetry books. The challenge of how best to print long lines is something we still handle. It's actually somewhat fascinating when you look at how presses have dealt with the issue over hundreds of years.

Billy Collins, one of America's most popular poets, had never seen his work in e-book form until he recently downloaded

Commentary: New U.S. poet laureate a traditional choice

W.S. Merwin Appointed New Poet Laureate. What do you think?
