I am writing this on my iPhone.
Yes, you read that correctly.
I am at the beach, am without my computer, and since I didn’t want to end my post a day streak I had to pull a Tim Gunn and make it work. Plus I had to finish the poetry review I started back when the universe began.
Since I am without proper keyboard access, I decided to tweet my thoughts on the remaining 5 poems. Click the twitter link on the right and either read ALL the tweets or do a search for the hashtag #STBPR (Stone Telling Beach Poetry Review). Saying hashtag and then including # may have been redundant… I confess I am not on the up and up with all the social media vernacular. Anyway, when I get back to a real computer (sorry, phone, you are only for pretend… and also angry birds) I’ll post the full feed here for the posterities.
