"A poet who reads his verse in public may have other nasty habits"

I don't think Lazarus Long was thinking of blogs, though. As promised, poet Steven Hamilton's Verve and Verse is in the sidebar under "Prods." I've been reading him in comment boxes, and he's got talent.

Also, while I'm updating, Mike Barrett's book The Danger Habit has finally been released. I'm waiting until payday to score a couple of copies, but it sure looks good. Check out his column at Pastors.com on radicalism and ministry.
