Here's another wonderful idea: po-blogger Kelli Russell Agodon has launched a poetry book giveaway to coordinate with National Poetry Month (that's April, y'all). I'm happy to participate. Click here for Kelli's full post/explanation on her blog.
I will be giving away one copy of my book, Survivable World, and one hardcover copy of F. Daniel Rzicznek's Neck of the World (winner of the May Swenson Poetry Award and published in 2007).
All you have to do is write a response to this blog post (this one, right here, the one you are reading right now) before midnight on April 30th. On May 1st, I will randomly select two of the comment posters; each will be mailed one of the books. (So if you post, be sure that I have a way of reaching you in case I need your mailing address.) You don't pay a thing.
Let's play!
Update, 4/06: I've decided to sweeten the odds. For every five persons who respond to this blog post, I'll add a chapbook from my micropress. Right now, we have fifteen comments, so I'm adding three chapbooks to the giveaway pile: reliquary, by Boyer Rickel; The book of small treasures, by Christine Klocek-Lim; and Still, by Deborah Burnham. Feel free to spread the word!
4/19 update: We've surpassed 25 comments, which means two more chapbooks are up for grabs: Round Trip, collaborative poems by Kevin McLellan and fifteen poets, and Notes from the Red Zone, by Christina Pacosz. Thanks for spreading the word, y'all.
4/24 update: Keep the comments coming! With 30 folks responding, I'm adding a copy of Matthew Hittinger's Platos de Sal.

I have a sweet SIGNED copy of SURVIVABLE WORLD, so if I win, I'll have to regift it. ;-) But I know Dan and do NOT yet have his book.
Good luck in NaPoWriMo. Regrettably, April is the cruelest month for my day job, so I will not participate.
I'm in! I have a copy of your book (and it's brilliant and beautiful and I'd be happy to be able to give someone a copy) but I do not have a copy of the other. Happy April!
Count me in! Thanks for doing this.

I've had the pleasure of seeing Daniel read, but never picked up a copy of his book.
Count me in!
Hey Ron,
I'm in! And, as I have no blog, but would love to join in, I would also love to add to the pool. Let me know if you want me to toss in a copy of my book, Capturing the Dead, and a copy of last year's Pearl Poetry Prize winner--Through the Glorieta Pass by Lavonne J. Adams (it's a marvelous work).
Cheers,
Daniel
