Reviews:
New York Library Association Books of Summer 2005
Cleveland Plain Dealer Top 20 Summer Reads 2005
"Contains probably some of the very worst poetry in print today."
FFWD
"(It) is an anthology that, in a lot of ways, is probably more entertaining, useful and therapeutic than, frankly, too many poetry collections... A smart high school English teacher would put this on a course list with Shakespeare." Montreal Mirror
"Bad rhymes, awkward phrases and pacing, nonsensical imagery and melodrama make up the poems in this collection. Iambic pentameter will be hard to come by, but not laughs, as a result of reading such gems as, "In the hand of friendship/You are the hangnail of discontent" (from And So It Goes), and "My hurt did not leave/you took my heart/you are the thieve" (James Breakup Poem). For the book, laughs from readers means mission accomplished."

Also featured in Nylon Magazine, Giant Magazine, Curves Magazine, The Boston Hearld, and lots of Canadian Media (the editor's a Canuck).
Also in Vancouver, BC, Canada there are bad poetry nights hosted by Sara Bynoe Editor of Teen Angst: A Celebration of REALLY BAD Poetry. check out www.teenangstpoetry.com for info

A poem to accompany my Samantha Comix:
AAAAhh the sounds of bells the ringing in my ear is it a sound to love or a sound to fear The alarm clock has that buzz The time is drawing near The days off will soon become was as back to school is here.
The children at first miss their friends and it's a happy time with pretense Then snaps the reality of homework and projects to drive one berserk and here comes the state with their test and parents really know for months they will have no rest!

If the item appears too small to read the comic blurb if you click on it you should be able to read it better. Enjoy.
Note: I am pimpin' my new chapbook, Marquee (released a couple days ago). If interested go to Marquee Ready for Release (makes sense) in my blog and read/click the link. Heck, go to my blog anyway.
May every one that you talk to this week smile at you when you begin to speak and Happiness is abound good times, friends and family all around as you celebrate with everyone North, South, West and East the celebrations of life and Peace. However it is that you say I wish to you and yours a wonderful Holiday. Happy Holidays! <3 Remie James
