Son of Table-Talk of P.G. for May 30, 2008

I. Oroboros [sic]—the game! (From Idalia.)

II. Baseball and poetry, sure. But hockey and poetry? At the Poetry Foundation, Dizzies Team Member Rob talks to Randall Maggs, author of Night Work: The Sawchuk Poems.

III. Check out (get it?) the librarian muxtape.

IV. At Jacket Copy, Dzyd Ben packs books for a trip.

Dizzyheads. I realize I've been endangering your health with these "title bouts," but what can I do? I'm just a conduit. You are the ones doing this to yourselves.

Check it out: The level of play has reached dizzying heights. Here comes Dizzyhead Jessica, back for a second round, with a spinal cracker (cf. "Come Together"?) entitled "The Young and the Restless."



But wait! Idalia sends in her second-round entry—let's call it "Fight Back and Win"!
