I have had poems coerced into handmade paper via letterpress printing techniques<\/a>, laser printed on broadsides sheets<\/a>, and even hung like advertisements in shop windows<\/a>. I am really excited, though, to have a poem on a tote bag.<\/p>\n Not just any tote bag–a concrete interpretation of my poem “Robin”, beautifully designed by Jane Commane, on a classy natural canvas bag. It comes free with a subscription to the Nine Arches Poetry Book Club<\/a>–itself an excellent idea that gets you six fine single-author poetry collections hot off the press, discounts on other books, and special invitations. Gift wrap available. Really, I hope they made enough bags<\/a>!<\/p>\n I also like the idea that using this tote instead of a plastic bag might help a scruffy robin survive the long winter of our global mass-consumption.<\/p>\n As they say in the UK: “Bagsy!” And in my native California: “Totes amazeballs!” You get the idea. I’m exited.<\/p>\n
