The annual Rain Taxi benefit auction is NOW

Every year the excellent journal of criticism Rain Taxi holds a benefit auction on eBay, selling off autographed rare editions, T-shirts, and weirdo handcrafted items to help keep the taxi going. This year, literary fetishists (and, you know, normal people) can bid on signed books from Paul Auster, Brenda Hillman, Susan Howe, Gordon Lish, Eileen Myles . . . and a lot more (including a quilt!). The bidding closes on December 20th, so hurry up and click to help keep smart criticism about contemporary books alive.
