Free Book
14 February 2008 by mm
This article by Douglas Goetsch in The American Scholar from last year is a marvelous piece about a group of high school kids who learned how to write poetry then set up a stand where they wrote poems on demand and on the spot for anyone who asked. It’s about the most inspiring thing I’ve read in ages. It made me think that maybe we should all be giving away at least some of our words in one form or other.
So, in the general spirit of giving, I’m offering a copy of my novel Terrastina and Mazolli to one lucky reader of this blog. Just add your name to the comments on this post by midnight Sunday, 17 February 2008. I’ll put all the names in a hat, pull one out at random, and send that person a signed copy of my book.
Names in a HAT, right? A HAT. Shall I bring you a hat? (I really want to win this!)
Aw, this is awesome!!
My name is Lauren..is that all we needed to put?
Cool!. Your book sounds great!
a free book. YAY! Love it. from a different Lauren.
Mr. Milosevic,
You can’t leave these books open like this.
The leakage. Oh my, the leakage.
My name is paul d.
What a brilliant idea. I am 98% certain that book is mine. Though I’d like everyone to have one. Happy Valentine’s to you Love Birds.
BTW, where will you be holding the annual Valentine’s poetry round-up?
This is a wonderful idea!!!
My name is Melissa.
Hope I win!!!
Drum roll please.
The winner of the first Conditional Realities give away is…… melissa. Melissa, please send your mailing address to mm@gorge.net and I will send you your free book.
Thank you all for entering.
Stephanie: Yes, I used a real live hat.
Paul d.: I plan to mail the book closed so there will be no leakage.
vq: My memory must have slipped a gear. I don’t remember a valentine’s day poetry roundup.
This was fun. Watch this blog for more give aways in the future!
