Lots of exciting news for PGP lately. Like Light Boxes got added 300 times on Goodreads, and Goodreads was like, cool!
And Poets & Writers published a nice article about Is Reads, the PGP journal that posts poems on street corners and stuff. The piece is online now and it will be in the May/June issue, once that hits the stands. I've been a longtime reader of P&W, and a subscriber, so this feels really good and important to me. I am very pleased. It is written by Kiki Anderson, who runs The Here to Hear, which is the coolest music blog I've ever seen.
Also there's a new PGP website. It's better. It's getting there. I hope you like it? I hope it looks really good on your computer.
And there's a new series at the new website. It's called EVERYDAY GENIUS. It's a Monday-Friday (-ish) updated literary ezine with a poem/short thing everyday. Everyday Genius is taking submissions.
But what I think I'm most excited about, at least right now, is the Shane Jones reading at Apostrophe Cast. Because I can't read Light Boxes (updated link!) with a fresh eye anymore, I rely on reviews and readings to remember how much I love the story. Shane does a great job reading it and it brings up so many thoughts in me about the violence and beauty of the story. I can see why so many people like it.

Also, if you listen to the Apostrophe Cast reading you can hear Shane read the words that are blackened out on p14.
e-zine, robinson?? wow, cool.
the new site looks great
as for everyday genius it should be obvious where i stand on that...
everything should be everyday
i think it's about time you shackle and chain jones down and make him write a new light box everyday
Joe, I'm glad you caught the ezine thing. I laughed when I wrote that.
Mark, at first I wasn't sure who Mark was but then when I thought of what Mark would have obvious thoughts on everyday things I thought, oh, Mark Baumer, owner of Everyday Yeah! Yeah! Yyyyyyeeeeeesssss you own it.
Thanks fellers.
the site looks aces, man.
