Default Naked male poets calendar

I'd be up for an Australian version -- any other takers?

"Dreamed up by Wild Women Press co-founder and poet Victoria Bennett after her two-year-old son was diagnosed with type one diabetes, the calendar saw a male poet paired with a female photographer for each month of the year (plus one extra month "for all the things you never have time to do"). The duo were then asked to interpret a poem donated for the calendar by a female poet, from Wendy Cope to Penelope Shuttle, Moniza Alvi and Pascale Petite."

Has someone told Craig Moreau? He's already on a billboard in Tribeca.

I'd be willing to donate a poem, if I could have my choice of naked male poets.
In photographs, of course.

I'm yours, Gail. But no one has ever called me a poet. At least not to my face. I guess they don't believe in confrontal poetry.

All proceeds from the calendar, which will be available for pre-order from 6 October at the Wild Women Press site, will go to diabetes research, as will money raised from an auction of images taken by the 13 photographers for the calendar and shown at a private exhibition on 12 November.
A private exhibition, eh?
