Friday Nite at our Neighborhood Video Store

...and the resident pooch, Mason, is dishing out his recommendations. :)

In the meantime, you know today is the first of April-- and that (here in north America at least) it also means it is the start of National Poetry Month.

Poet-friends are participating in the 2011 Great Poetry Giveaway, and I've decided to join the fun. Details are on my regular blog-- I will be giving away 2 books after April is over: one, a copy of my most recent poetry book Juan Luna's Revolver and two, a copy of poetry book that I have loved, Eugene Gloria's Hoodlum Birds.

Blipfoto friends who leave comments on this post are also welcome to participate in my poetry giveaway raffle: just leave me your name and a brief note letting me know you want to play; and leave your email address too so I can backchannel you after I pick the two winners (I will put everyone's names in a fishbowl and randomly draw two names).
Or better yet, head over to www.luisaigloria.com/blog

Happy National Poetry Month!
