book giveaway!

today my darling boyfriend released his poetry book! i'm so happy for him. it is a really unusual poetry book because all the lines are from his instant messenger history. some of the lines are even from conversations the two of us had together when i was in high school. also, all the lines are set in bold helvetica, all caps, so it's almost like an art book more than a poetry book. for a taste, you can view some (or all) of the poems on the website. and...he was kind enough to give me a copy to give away!



anyone can enter! all you have to do for your chance to win a copy of the book is just leave a comment below. i will choose a random winner next tuesday!

    Even if I'm not chosen, I'll still buy it anyway. But what the heck, why not?

    You know, I kind of love this.
    It's random and most people wouldn't quite get it...but isn't that what art is?

    I would love to have this book.

    Wow! This book looks like it will be lots of fun. Coffee table book type of thing. Because anytime anyone is ever over, they can read all the random "poems" <3

    I Love the concept!!

    Steve Roggenbuck is a horrible poet.

    Also I wrote that because if I "win" then my comment would be highly ironic. Only now it isn't because the irony has been explained.

    I am sad now. Perhaps I will comfort myself with a Roggenbuck poem.

    I thought the excerpts that were about hugging someone (presumably you, that or he's a VERY affectionate person) were quite sweet :) I'm not sure if I've read it all but it's nice.
