Garrie,

Sometimes Don sells the books and sometimes he gives them away to the poets in the publication. What it is, is that in theory the books are free to us, and for sale on his website for other people. The practical side is, we usually pay for the books so Don has the cash to keep doing this. This one "costs" $10. I wouldn't call it $10 quality, but what the hay. It's a workable symbiosis.

Since I go to quite a few of the publication readings, I can pick up a copy for you if you haven't already ordered it. I may go to the Feb. 9 reading for SGVPQ and the Love Poems anthology, and can ask Don if he has extras of Every Poem is an Idea. I met both my friends Marilyn and Sheila through a poetry critique workshop, and we're all in one of these Feb 9 anthologies and will carpool together.

Since you're already a past "Sensitive Poet of the Week" and you're in this book, you should be on Don's weekly mailing list. The weekly mailing has the names of poets published for each upcoming publication. Any of his web pages can link you to "put me on the mailing list."
