Good creatures.
Hey Greg,
I figured I would post here rather than clutter up your various thoughts on poets and their work. It's good stuff and it is cool to see a writer that blogs everyday as well.
I am Eric Andersen, a reporter for the University of Iowa school newspaper "The Daily Iowan" and I was wondering if you would have the time to do a brief phone interview for promotion of you and Dan Gerber's reading at Prairie Lights in Iowa City.
I figured by posting on here I would cut to the chase, since I am on deadline.
Thanks,
Eric Andersen
