The current newsletter put out by the Sebor Absinth co. has put my poem " Absinth Makes the heart Grow Fonder" in it.
it's not a big deal or anything..it's an email newsletter
but...it's kinda cool.
I can't link the newsletter it's self , it's subscription only I guess, but they do have it listed in the archives here:

Thanks Anna
it is Nothing but...it's the first thing I've ever put anywhere but here or another poetry page.
( of course I feel like Steve Martin in The Jerk..
" The new phone book's here! The new phone book's here! This is the kind of spontaneous publicity I need! My name in print! That really makes somebody! Things are going to start happening to me now.")

I love that movie... I've seen it so many times, but still end up laughing my ass each time I watch it—it's a real classic.

By the way, congratulations on having a poem published. I think that's just awesome.

Very cool

Congrats, Tath! A well deserved honor for a well written poem.

As I remember, Steve Martin's publication in the phone book attracted the attention of a homicidal maniac. Lets hope you are more fortunate!

Adding my two cents (they add up eventually)

Congratulations Tath, I am glad to see you are spreading it around

In the phone book huh? Did they spell your name right?..



What the hell...as long as they get your number right....

I'm happy for you...

My two cents are late so you can charge me interest and take an extra one.


Way to go Monkey Man! I am sure it's the first of many.

Cool.

I went to the site and checked out your poem, so I felt compelled to check the rest of the site out too. Fascinating stuff. But what the hell are the weird spoons for?

Absinth is a bitter drink.
The spoons were for placing a sugar cube on, over your drink, and either disolving it into the absinth with water, or, soaking it with the absinth ( which is 110 proof) and burning it so the caramelized sugar dripped into your drink
in both cases to sweeten it.
