We have two new guest poets for you today, sml'amour and Keisha Grant. Check out their brave new words!!!

And in case you've been living under a slab of anthracite for the past week, our own Thomas Trofimuk has landed a big honking deal for his third novel, "Columbus at 4 a.m." You can read all about it here and here. Huge Congrats Thomas!

Oh, yeah, and to plug my own scribbling a bit, I (Gord) am the featured poet on Daily Haiku this week. Give my little 17 syllable tidbits a gander here.
