I'm bi-lingual!
Happy Boxing Day, y'all. Here's what my dear Dad has to say about Sheela Lambert's wonderful review of my first full-length poetry book, The Horizontal Poet, on the Lambda Literary website at http://www.lambdaliterary.org/categor...
All these allusions to "bi-ness" call forth even more possiblities: You could truly (and in several ways) characterize yourself as a "bi-pedal horizontal poet", and a biographical movie about you and/or friends could be promoted as a "bi-opic", while poetry readings by the committed could henceforth be characterized as bi-lingual events! You missed the fertile occasion of our nation's bi-centennial", being only in your mid-teens at the time, but I only need to point out to you the notable emergence of several new bi-cameral legislatures in the recent Arab Spring, to emphasize a wave of additional opportunities that may be far from over! Love, Dad
