    <about><![CDATA[About fifteen years ago, the summer after I graduated university, I sent a two-page short story called “Lucky” to Esquire with a cover letter that read, “I’m just testing out the publication waters, you know, to see how comfortable they are.”  I got a form letter back with a hand-written comment jotted at the bottom: “the waters? Chilly, even for ‘Lucky’”. <br/><br/>Over the last few summers, while I have been away from the workaday demands of teaching high school English, I have written my first novel.  Initially I decided to avoid the cold roiling ocean of traditional publishing, instead favoring to draw myself a nice warm bath by self-publishing on-line and sharing my work with family and friends.  But this water quickly cools, too.  So I have decided to squire my little one out there.  <br/><br/>Find it at: <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.lulu.com/content/1988016">http://www.lulu.com/content/1988016</a><br/><br/>Trevor Payne<br/><br/>]]></about>

          <body><![CDATA[A wonderful book of criticism on a very difficult poet to account for.  I especially admire the seemless way Gelpi places Dickinson’s art within the tradition of Yankee intellectualism and its emergence from harsh Calvinism, delineating fine distinctions between her and her noteworthy peers, Emers...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/39360395">more...</a>]]></body>

Levine displays wonderful candor when spinning anecdotes about his life that help the reader understand his innate drive to create poetry.  His perspectives have been especially valuable to me at the moment, as I am going about the task of creating a poetry readi...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/41759806">more...</a>]]></body>
