Congrats! I'll pick it up!
Yay! I ordered this on March 24. Shipping info says I'll have it by 11/17. I think I mentioned before that this was a highly unusual demonstration of patience for me?
Hurry, Amazon, hurry.
I'll be ordering mine this week!
Whoa - blurbs from Hass, AShbery AND Gluck? Impressive indeed!
I picked this up yesterday at B&N, Paul, and I'm really enjoying it. I've read the first batch of poems and they are excellent--memorable and moving.

I am trying patiently to wait for Christmas, but I keep sneaking into bookstores to read this really remarkable collection.
