Apparently, I am so self-centered I will be watching myself read poems in the mirror while this fete goes down. Sigh. Little do you know I will be saving the world, curing the blind, and repairing the polar ice caps within the next 72 hours. Wanna come? ;) PS: Eva says hello.
Hi, Eva!
Amanda, I really liked your poem on Poetry Daily. And I'm glad you can take a joke.
