We're so proud of them

Today, two of my favorite people, poets who write novels, can be found on the blogosphere:

Hayan Charara is on Moorishgirl, recommending John Fante's amazing novel, Ask the Dust. From the rec:

It's at once tender, harsh, funny, sad. Ask the Dust is a kick in the pants, an eye-opener, a lesson in humility. Whenever I start to take myself too seriously, I pick it up and within minutes I am humbled.

Michelle Detorie has triplets, three flowers of poems, up on Blackbird.

Thanks, guys. You inspire me.
