I will, and when I do I'll let you know what I think--any particular starting point in the novellas?

Her Circe/Mud poems are especially brilliant, I think, extra complex, because the voice goes back and forth. I still think it rocks you've read her and like her poems at least. Which of the poems do you favor, just out of curiosity? And do you find it weird how rarely her poems are anthologized?

Nope, missed that one. But Jon Stewart has his moments; I used to like his MTV show. Which aired for maybe two episodes.

I sure will. That way we can be all Nicole-gushy together and make everyone ill with our agreeableness and mushy fan behavior.
