Guest Interview: Lauren Lipton
I am so high on this interview that when I posted about it at the new Win a Book site, I didn't even see the give at the bottom!
THAT is high praise.
I'm talking about the interview at Savvy Verse and Wit, which Serena has done with author Lauren Lipton. Awesome.
And at the end, if that's not enough awesomeness for you, Serena's got three copies of Mating Rituals of the North American Wasp to share. (US/Canada only, and no PO Boxes)
Really. The whole thing is awesome. Check it out via this link.

Author Interview: Clive Matson
Serena at Savvy Verse and Wit has a great interview with poet Clive Matson posted today.
If you haven't seen it, you should. It's another great reminder of the important stuff you book bloggers do -- it begins with Mr. Matson telling Serena that he quotes part of her review whenever he does a reading.
How's THAT for high praise!
Congratulations, Serena. Bridget and I are proud of you. (and the interview's pretty good, too.)
Oh, yeah. Here's the link.

Rubber Side Down
Don't EVER put "final giveaway" in the subject line of your post, people! I may not see "Of the week" after those two dreaded words!
It's Serena at Savvy Verse and Wit who's torturing me, but she's making up for it with a really great give. The book is called Rubber Side Down, and it's an anthology of poetry edited by Jose Gouveia. The theme? Biker poets.
I wonder if they are anything like my own Roadie Poet... I'll have to explore!
If you'd like to explore with me, head over to Savvy Verse and Wit. Serena will BUY on copy for her winner -- and this is an international contest. Check out the poems she's posted. I see some similarities to Roadie Poet.
Do you?
Use this link before May 15.

Dear Anais
I swear, I have not met a bigger advocate for poetry than Serena at Savvy Verse and Wit -- and I've known a few poets in my day, too.
To convince you that poetry isn't the Big Bad it seemed to be when we were forced to study it in high school, she's got a copy of one very interesting-looking book: Dear Anais: My Life in Poems For You, written by Diana M. Raab.
That's not all, though. Ms. Raab has also offered to send two other winners each one copy of her chapbook (that's a collection of poetry, usually self-published, or published in small quantities by a small press), My Muse Undresses Me.
Check it all out, including two (VERY readable and easily understood!) poems by Ms. Raab.
Deadline is March 18.
