I KNEW you were becoming a pilot and abandoning poetry... I don't care if I spoiled the surprise. I really don't. I'm just too upset to deal with this whole situation...
They are reopening CBGB's in the basement of the Russian Tea Room and you are invited to MC the show in that lovely Georgia/Tennessee voice of yours. Blondie is the opening act.
You're GOD! And, you took this picture from your cloud house. Nice.

Paul, some of us Atlanta poets need a loan. ;-)
Wow!
Everyone should look at the link posted by Michelle Hiskey.
Oh, oh, oh: a lovely slide show, with such a terrific poem, and then the punchline: congratulations, congratulations. It's so well deserved.
WOW congrats Paul. You deserve it!

check out his write-up on ajc
I'm glad to see the AJC has picked up on the somewhat dormant tradition of making a pun from your last name: "Paul Guest, as his names implies, invites you into his poetry." Although what kind of guest invites people in? A very presumptuous one, I'd say. Paul The Presumptuous Guest. Eh. Doesn't have the zing of the Sequoya Review lines. ;-)
Paul, congratulations. Also, loved hearing you read that poem. I have been a fan of that poem, and took it to my writing group a while back and they all loved it, and we read it aloud twice, so it was great to hear you read it. Enjoy this sweet success!

Oh, Paul! How happy! I hope you are enjoying this!
Congratulations Paul!
(long time reader- I took history with you in like 1996 or something. You never know who's out there reading I suppose.)
And you are right. It's because you are awesome.
Great news! *Very* excited for you!
Cheers,
Seth
