I don't reread Eliot's juvenilia, but once in a while I reread Ricks' notes on those poems because they are fun and amazing.

Ricks is a very perceptive critic. Sometimes he might seem to be forcing things a little (for example, on hyphens in Philip Larkin) but he is always interesting.
The footnotes to his Tennyson are fun too.. (Am away from my books or I would quote an example or two.)

I believe Richard Dawkins has a healthy appreciation of literature. If my understanding of the process is correct, you could tweet him.

I get to read with Alicia next Sunday. Maybe we can drum up some votes at Otto's Shrunken Head.

Go for it, Sam. And lucky you!
I shared the news about Alicia on my Facebook page, which is great way to get the news out, if you're "friends" with people eligible to vote--and who might share too.

I finally got around to writing a short blog in support of Alicia, if anyone has an interest in linking to such things:
http://profanepoet.wordpress.com/201...next-election/
It doesn't usually get very many readers, but more than my 12 followers on Twitter. Like Charlotte I also shared on Facebook.

OK, Marly Youmans just retweeted to her 1,005 followers (well, she is MUCH more charming than I am...)!
Can we do even better?
Oh, and remember to use that "juggernaut" term in your comments.

Thanks also to GM Palmer for retweeting to his 300 folllowers!
How about some of our British friends? Twitter is stuffed to the gills with British poets--you must know one or two.

Mary, I, too, have shared this on my Facebook page, where I have nearly 2,000 friends, readers and followers from Hawaii east to China. Several of these are Oxford graduates eligible to vote, in the Middle East, on the Indian sub-continent, in Eastern Europe, the United Kingdom, and in the United States.
All best,
Jennifer
