Kelli Russell Agodon, over at her blog, The Book of Kells, is hosting a poetry giveaway during National Poetry Month, which on the West Coast, starts in about 3 hours. I love the idea, so I’ve decided to participate. This means that I will send two books of poetry to one lucky person, selected from among the throngs who respond to this post.
On May 1st, I will randomly choose a winner, and send you two recent books of poetry that I have fallen in love with:
Mean Free Path by Ben Lerner
Equal to the Earth by Jee Leong Koh
So keep those responses coming and you may be the winner!
Risa Denenberg 
I’m in.
what a great idea for poetry month!
I have a very small following– so your chances of winning are great!
Yes, me!
I’m in — love your comment about a small following. hadn’t thought about that being an advantage!

Me too!
(do I have to do anything else – write a poem or something?)
Risa, out of 30+ blogs listed on Kelli’s blog, I came here first because the name of your blog made me laugh. Now that I’ve wandered around a bit, I think I’ll be hanging out here. What a rich and wonderful place.
May I play too? :)
Ooh, count me in too!
Joyce, Chella, Kathleen, Margo, Shannon– thanks for stopping by. And thanks for staying a while. Happy poetry month!
Miriam- you’re not obligated to write a poem, but I highly recommend it.

Please allow me to be (what I’m guessing is) the final entrant in your giveaway. I’m sad that I seem to be the only one to rush around signing up for the Big Poetry Giveaway at the last minute, I thought the Internet was full of procrastinators!
Please count me in! Thanks!
