‘He brushed his teeth, if at all, with salt’
- Diane Seuss @dlseuss
ALT Romantic Poet BY DIANE SEUSS You would not have loved him, my friend the scholar decried. He brushed his teeth, if at all, with salt. He lied, and rarely washed his hair. Wiped his ass with leaves or with his hand. The top of his head would have barely reached your tits. His pits reeked, as did his deathbed. But the nightingale, I said.

ALT THE LOOK Pain took me, but not woke me — no, years later, your look woke me: each shade & light: So to love then I came, the first beach grasses.

#scbwiSummer22 #eddiegammarra The pitch must sell your book to librarians, teachers, booksellers, readers. Authors should practice reading their pitch out loud. Look at the library of congress summary/copyright page. Give them a sample that intrigues and memoize the pitch.

I think I could listen to @imaniperry talk for days. Her new book "South to America" is quite simply a masterpiece. Please give this one a listen and then go pick up a copy of her book. apple.co/36PWbcT
