This is wonderful stuff. I will be buying this book.

P.S. At the end of the day, I'll have to have this book, but $74.95 (as listed on Amazon.com) is a fairly hefty price tag. Is it all or nothing, then, or is it possible to buy the book itself without the audio CD?

P.P.S. Another predictable outcome in the eternal battle of budget vs. books -- I bought it, and I'm glad I did. Cheap at the price.

Another fine podcast! Nice to hear Jim's voice reading his work.

These are wonderful! Jim's comments and readings worth multiple hearings.
However, I ran into them quite by accident--perhaps there
should be announcement when new readings are added.

Fabulous, Jim! I consider many of these to be classics, and it's a great selection of your work.

I've had the pleasure of hearing you read in person -- I think you said it was your first publlic reading ever, as I recall -- and I somehow didn't think I'd manage to hear you read again anytime soon, so this was a real treat. The biggest problem is that we can't go out for beers afterwards, which is a serious defect in the whole internet concept.

Actually, from what Alex says, I apparently had the chance to hear this any time I wanted with the CD that accompanied your book, which remains on a shelf in my office within arm's reach of my desk, but somehow I either misplaced the CD or just forgot that I had it all these years. I definitely need to track it down to put on my iPod. In the meantime, it's so nice to have these poems available on the internet just a click away.

Good job!
