A New Book Review (by an awesome source, the Kirkus Review)

My book Glyphic has been called "A psychedelic, verse picaresque in the vein of Carlos Castañeda" --@KirkusReviews (http://t.co/9dBxrrn4wg)

2.5 Reasons Nobody Reads This Blog

1. Very few people read and the people that do mostly read non-fiction, self-help books, or if they do read fiction they read fiction about vampires, women with vibrating toys and leather fetishes, and I don't write any of that. 
2. I have no knack for marketing anything. I run a bar which I get away with because alcohol sells itself but books don't seem to sell themselves. I don't know any bookaholics who will drink up as many of my books as I allow. 
3. (2.5) I have no idea, guess my blog sucks

An interesting observation

my son knows "i love u", "我爱你", "te amo" but not "사랑해" #koreaisweird #hiseoulkkk

First Poem from book I just started

Difference between me and her

I’m American

She’s Korean

I pour a glass of water with ice cubes

gulp it down then pour milk into the same glass

She pours one glass of water 

and one glass of milk and sets the two on the table demurely

—•----•—

I think this idea of picking up little cultural differences could make a full book (something like the poetry version of ROKetship). If you have any ideas you'd like written, tell me.
