April is National Poetry Month, and this year, I was honored to help Oregon's tenth poet laureate, Anis Mojgani, expand his wonderful Telepoem Poetry Phoneline with new options to explore. Just call (503) 928-7008 any time this month and you'll get a new poem read to you daily, or use the menus to hear a random poem from the archives or choose any day from the last two years of the project.
How Comics Were Made is a visual history of printing cartoons currently funding on Kickstarter, 76% to the goal with under 70 hours to hit it. @glennf exhaustively researched this 288-page full-color book for years, interviewing dozens of mainstream and alternative cartoonists, and I really hope it gets made. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/glennf/how-comics-were-made/
