Procrastination Station #63
So, it’s been ages since the last procrastination station (sorry)! Allow me to make up for it…
OK, first thing’s first — I had a poem published by The Guardian yesterday!
Famous writers’ rejection letters.
A great article on the difference between self publishing and vanity publishing.
StreamofPoetry: every poetry tweet in one place (thanks Paul!)
Your first look at the Howl movie (James Franco has Ginsberg’s voice totally down. I am SO excited to see this movie!)
I love the Rejectionist.
I loved this satire of Cormac McCarthy’s The Road…
…and in a similar (though less serious) vein, How Twilight Works
An amazing book cover — and more at Chainsaws and Jelly.
Found online this week: The Student mentioned Read This Press! // Col took inspiration from my anagram poems, and wrote some of his own // my jewels appeared at Chainsaws & Jelly! // Swiss responded to this post by writing a poem! // Mairi also responded! // Howie Good’s new book has the best blurb ever! // & more on his books // Jim Murdoch on Bukowski // a Chris Lindores poem illustrated… and some other stuff he’s been up to // the Carry a Poem ladies at the BBC! // & two happy customers with their Read This Store purchases!
Chainsaws & Jelly are seeking submissions from creative types… that sounds like you lot!
Some Banksy artwork you may not have seen…
Can I have one of these, please?
A monster collection of Moleskine hacks
Rare photos of famous people (thanks @JFDerry!)
Amazing walking wind-powered beach beasts!
There’s new stuff at both my shops — Edinburgh Vintage and the Read This Store!
& finally… the fabulous Vanessa Hidary
T shirt war!
& I love this song, and its video.
Don’t forget to visit The Read This Store, and its sister store, Edinburgh Vintage!

Again congratulations on the Guardian. I’ve missed my hit of Pro Stat, lots of interesting links as always.
Many thanks for the anagram link too!

Ho.
