The Week We Made a List
Still stumped about what to get that poetry buff on your holiday shopping list? Behold, Harriet’s handy clip ‘n’ save 2011 gift guide!
A recently minted collection of poetry. Duh. A few big-shots recommend some gems in Seawall.
Jack Keroauc Soap. For the Beat Generation throwback in your life who still smells like the road.
Influence. Because every ambitious type wants to call shots like Mikhail Iossel.
Patronage. Creative types and arts organizations have been relying on this for centuries. Classic, yet often controversial.
The Rilke Bust. Forget writing letters to a young poet. True love means smuggling this puppy home from Prague.
The Octavio Paz iPad app. It’s already moving mad units in Mexico.
Hot, wild Tantric porn. It’s what inspires Franck Andre Jamme.
Political poetry. Because someday, Junior will appreciate those time capsules from Arab Spring, Occupy Wall Street and the short-lived Cain Train.
A holiday classic. Because no one is sure who wrote the thing, you’ll get all the credit. Teach the controversy.
A poetic earworm. Catchy poems are gifts that keep on giving.
The strange compass. Hold it up, though some may disavow it.
A righteous roasting. Consider stealing a few snaps from noted raconteur and Byron fan Mike Tyson.
Zapruder. Van Winkle. Podcast style. Our gift to you.
PS: OMG, you guys! Kenny G is coming to Poetry Foundation!
