Dear Best American Poets and the People who Love Them,
Hello, friends! I'm Rachel Shukert, Taurus, animal lover, and author of Everything Is Going To Be Great. I'll be guest blogging for you all week, and I have to say, I'm very excited. The last time I was here we interviewed some of my favorite poets, wrote proto-Morrissey songs together, and made poems out of those random words that Facebook used to have you type out before they would let you send a message to anyone. Similarly fun things are in store for you during my next brief tenure.
Unfortunately, it took me a very embarrassing amount of time to figure out how to get in here and post (although I think I'm on it now) and I have to be somewhere. It is, after all, a weekend, and despite my advancing age I am trying to maintain at least a modicum of a social life. It's also so hot in my apartment I think I might die, and after the electric bill I got hit with yesterday, it seems prudent to not die on someone else's dime.
In short, I need to get out of the house. My apologies. Please forgive me, and enjoy the following title sequence from one of my favorite 1980's television shows.
