Oh no! You can’t get that wretched mid-’80s song by Deniece Williams out of your head now? I’m sorry. (Mwahahahahahaha).<\/p>\nOh no! You can’t get that wretched mid-’80s song by Deniece Williams out of your head now? I’m sorry. (Mwahahahahahaha).<\/p>\n
And I’ve never even seen<\/em> “Footloose.” I’m a pop culture embarrassment. <\/p>\n Anyway, just a quick note to say that this summer will be the introduction of a new collaborative blog, designed specifically for teen males, and it’ll be called “Guys Lit Wire.” Kelly Fineman did a short and sweet post<\/strong><\/a> on this a few days ago, so why mess with perfection. Here’s what she wrote: <\/p>\n The mission of Guys Lit Wire<\/em> is to recommend books to teenage boys. The goal? At least one post every Monday through Friday by different contributors, for which a stable of at least 21 bloggers will be required . . . I will be contributing monthly columns on poetry collections for guys (and yes, they do exist and many of them are great!) Others have signed on for other sorts of columns in other categories, but additional monthly contributors are needed in order for the blog to go forward. Categories as of now include book reviews, interviews, literary commentary, and more. If you have an interest in signing on as a regular columnist, please contact colleen @ chasingray dot com.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n I have committed to once-a-month postings on picture books for guys. And oh no, snap snap, you better not be laughing. Okay, so I know it’ll be difficult, but I’ll do my best to appeal to the art-lovin’ teen males, using the more sophisticated picture books. Think Christopher Myers’<\/strong><\/a> illustrations for Jabberwocky<\/em><\/strong><\/a> or the tale of contemporary urban violence in Smoky Night<\/strong><\/em><\/a>. <\/p>\n Anyway, that’s my story, and I’m stickin’ to it. Contact Colleen if you’re interested in contributing. Here’s her informative post<\/a><\/strong> from yesterday, updating you on the entire venture. <\/p>\n P.S. I could be terribly wrong about this \/ my memory could be failing me miserably, but didn’t this all start here<\/a><\/strong> or here<\/a><\/strong> with Sara? Even if it didn’t, don’t miss those thought-provoking posts. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Oh no!
