Congrats on the book, Paul, and on the inevitable applause!
It is lovely, indeed.
Many congratulations, Paul -- I look forward to reading your book, and to reading with you at AWP Chicago!

Awesome, Paul. Congrats!
Over at the first books blog you wrote, "Most poets are lucky if they’re able to change their pants."
Just when I'd forgotten why I love you so much...
Good looking book, Paul. You're famous enough now (deservedly so) that when I tell people I know you, they think I'm telling a lie.
Can't wait to see you in Chicago...

May you sell a million copies! --Theresa Williams
Yay! I can't wait to see it! And congrats on the PW review! More exclamation points!!!
Yesssss.
Please keep us posted on future readings.
Congratulations on all of your good news, Paul. I have always wished you the best, in spite of everything. I hope that you're happy with all of this happiness-making-stuff that is happening for you. It is so easy for the world to serve up the worst things to the best people and so nice when it does otherwise. Here's wishing you more wonders in love and language. That first hearing on the radio told me you were bound for greatness (and didn't I even say P & W article?)
