  • Margaret Atwood + hockey movie musical = Heaven March 16, 2010
    In some of the best news ever, Margaret Atwood is going to have a cameo in a movie musical about hockey. Seriously. I am — what is the word? – giddy. Don’t believe me? Atwood discusses it on her blog. Can this news get better? Hell, yes. The movie also stars Olivia Newton-John. […]

Eliot, Yeats, and Marianne Moore.  With fifteen years [...] […]

Chris Martin Reviews His Own Book

Chris Martin Reviews His Own Book

A joke? Human error? Dunno, but Powell’s has posted a review ostensibly from Rain Taxi in which Chris Martin–using rather cliched language–reviews his own book. (Either that, or anothe Chris Martin.)
