About me:
I'm a graduate of Flynn Park Elementary School.
The blog is mainly about the Tell It Slant poetry book group (formerly affiliated with the late Hungry Mind / Ruminator bookstore). We meet once a month at a St. Paul coffee shop to discuss a book of poetry...we range from Sappho and Dante to Matthea Harvey and Tony Hoagland. Drop me a line if you're interested in attending a session.

Who I'd like to meet:
Molly Ivins, Clodia Metelli, James Joyce, Babe Ruth, Shakespeare, John Lennon

the voice of sleep. {in alternative press}	May 14 2008 5:21 PM im not quite sure where we are at really. things are just all over the place right now. we are going to be featured in Alternative Press magazine. The July issue, which comes out June 10th of 2008. We are in their unsigned bands of the month column. But other than that nothing new really. hoping for some direction. I am anyways. Love wy
tigers in the backseat	May 10 2008 11:07 AM haha yeah i agree... thats the point of the whole section.
the voice of sleep. {in alternative press}	Apr 25 2008 10:16 PM thank you so much sir for the download. i have yet to listen to him, but i shall now. listen to: www. myspace. com/olafurarnalds its amazing.
the voice of sleep. {in alternative press}	Mar 30 2008 6:58 PM i like that. a lot actually. true is a true story about a man who drowned in the lake i lived on nearly my entire life. the questions one asks.
Did you say her name was Louise.	Feb 1 2008 4:15 AM The List has now become The Beast. I tend to make things more difficult than they actually should be. It keeps growing, and growing, and growing. And, of course, it will now be anticlimactic when you actually receive The List. Argh! Eat, Pray, Love is interesting. The voice carries the book, I think. I am glad it was given to me, b/c I never would have bought it on my own!
Did you say her name was Louise.	Jan 26 2008 9:26 AM Aloha! I have been a very bad MySpace friend, as I haven't typed up list yet. This will be done this weekend! Your mentioning of Italian is quite interesting... I'm reading a book a friend gave me, Eat, Pray, Love, at present, and the author took Italian as well. The "Luka" guy is quite fabulous -- he's from the Czech Republic, and I think he's for real.
the voice of sleep. {in alternative press}	Jan 19 2008 10:58 AM HA! I am glad someone caught on to my midnight masquerades alone adding people. i figure if they are from that country, they hopefully might like us. However, a lot of their pages feature songs by Rascal Flatts, Fergie, and Lil Wayne. Which isn't exactly showing a good taste of musicianship. But who am I kidding, not many people actually listen intently to anything. hahah I'd love to play there though?!?!?!?!
Did you say her name was Louise.	Jan 14 2008 5:51 AM I am most honored to be the first friend you do not know. Ha ha! I'd have to say that -- in my book, at least -- Leonard Cohen songs about Leonard Cohen do not count. If only Shane MacGowan had written a song about poets. I'm mentally going through every lyric in my head right now -- which is a tad difficult to do, being as I haven't had any coffee yet.
the voice of sleep. {in alternative press}	Jan 9 2008 5:23 PM Hey Roy! It will be Kelsey, Jeff, and I playing. We dont have a drummer yet. It gets mildly depressing from time to time. Its the only thing holding us back from actually playing shows all the time. How have you been good sir?
David Stenshoel	Dec 12 2007 11:49 AM Thanks for the comment, Roy. The duo was called Redondo, with Dave Burk. That was back in 1998, and I was hairless due to chemotherapy!
the voice of sleep. {in alternative press}	Dec 5 2007 10:55 PM hey! im soooooooooooooooooo sorry for the delay on this thing. i have been busyyyyyyyyyy no excuse though i know. um the beat is a coffee shop in uptown. the address is: 28th Street one half block east of Hennepin Avenue in Uptown Minneapolis its a really chill place. i love it. i can't wait to play there.
the voice of sleep. {in alternative press}	Nov 13 2007 7:57 AM hey thanks for the add!! i see you like billy bragg thats awesome! he is awesome! im jeff, its nice to meet you.
