As a non-photogenic poet, I call for a boycott of what will now be known as Covergirl Poetry over there are MiPoesias. This is utterly disgusting and outrageous.
That photogenic thing got to me, too.

Eduardo, thanks for the last bit/link. That article has inspired a poem I'm thinking of calling "Suggested Alternative Names for National Council of La Raza." My favorite one so far is
"National Council of Los Que Tienen El Pinche Nopal en La Frente."
I'm grateful for your sister's internet access. The internet is so much better when you're online than when you're not.
I love that poem of Jericho's! It's the opening shot in his book.
Your blog is very good.
See you and have a nice blogging.
I can't believe that photogenic stuff. WTF?!
