John Daniel Surprise Visit

Our friend, John Daniel, a poet, essayist, and novelist-to-be will make at least one surprise visit to our classroom this semester from Oregon. John murdered a dry doe in Montana last Thanksgiving with a single shot from a borrowed rifle, and we may serve some of it to you for breakfast when he comes. Meanwhile, you may feel free to order and read his new book. If you do, be sure to bring it to class with you for him to sign. Anyone may, of course, may check out his previous books from the library. If you read his first book of poetry, however, you are eligible for five extra points in poetry. Please let me know if this option interests you, and I will provide you with a book: that is, with this option, you receive a free copy of John's book of poems on the condition that you read it and answer a few questions. You may then keep the book and have John sign it. To view John's website, click on the title for this post.
