All change

I got my Poetry Superhighway Great Poetry Exchange ‘draw’ yesterday – my own chapbook is going to be heading to Tom Berman, on a kibbutz in Israel, while I’ll be getting Thawed Stars, by Alice Pero. I have to admit, I’m quietly excited, because her book comes highly recommended by no less a figure than Kenneth Koch, my favourite of the New York School poets. It’s also 140-odd pages long, which would make it quite the largest chapbook you’ve ever seen.
