A book that starts, ‘Hello, this is Paul Chowder, and I’m going to tell you everything I know’ must be a bit tongue in cheek. After all Paul is a second-rate poet writing the introduction to a poetry anthology and he lives in Maine. I spent years waking to Garrison Keillor’s ’The Writers’ Almanac’ and now get my poem of the day online. So, Paul’s procrastination, his hoping to win back former girlfriend Roz and his musing on poets and poetry are just plain fun. I’m glad books like this still get published! It’s a gem.
