Larry O. Dean has written such tomes as "Identity Theft for Dummies" and "Pith and Vinegar: New and Used Poetry." Tonight he will read from his latest book, "I Am Spam," at the Neville Public Museum of Brown County, in Green Bay, Wisconsin. It's tonight, January 27, at 210 Museum Place. "The event kicks off with an open reading featuring local poets at 6:30 p.m., followed by Dean's reading at 7 p.m."
The book is a poetry collection inspired by subject lines of spam email he's received over the past few years. Here's a teaser, from his poem entitled, "Are You An Artist? Find out Free":
"Do you want to know
that badly? Does it even matter?
You're either an artist, or you're not.
No middle ground. If
you don't already know
for sure, admit it,
there are suspicions - signs,
indications, warnings.
And you're worried."
The book must be interesting - Amazon.com has only two copies left. If you're not in Green Bay, you can snag one of the remaining books if you're as intrigued as I am.
