 rating: 5 of 5 stars Is that dream house eluding you? Want to make thousands of dollars without lifting a finger or generating a single thought in that pretty head of yours? Love life not satisfying? Want to please your partner? Master the stock market? Buy gold? Sell plutonium? Absorb a new language while you sleep? Earn a college degree without learning how to read?
 
 Yes, you too can be a gold-plated billionaire PhD pill-popping sex animal with more friends than brain cells... The secrets all are revealed in this new book from
 White Pine Press!
 
 White Pine just published The House of Your Dream: An International Collection of Prose Poetry in honor of their 35th anniversary. All the poems in the anthology have been published by White Pine Press at some point during their 35 year run - some as stand-alone books, some in Peter Johnson's anthology The Best of The Prose Poem. The result
 is not only one of the most solid collections of prose poetry since Johnson's anthology, but a testament to White Pine's dedication to the form. Want names? Celan, Char, Edson, Dybek, Jacob, Koncel, Ignatow, Lombardo, Marcus, Markus, Ponge, Nye, Neruda, Simic, Young, Tate, Johnson, Andrews... But who cares about names? It's the poems,
 the poems! - and the poems in this anthology were carefully selected by editors Robert Alexander and Dennis Maloney to ping off each other, complimenting, discussing, revealing new resonances, and coming together for a damn fine 35th birthday party.
 
 So act now! Photosynthetic smooth operators are standing by relay your call to *all the right people*! Don't be a jerk.
 Buy the book.
