Hi Emma,

Loved your comments about Denise Duhamel's "Ka-Ching." I also read the collection from cover to cover and went back and re-read it.

Thanks for your insights.

Thanks, Judith. I believe Denise is editing an upcoming book about humor in poetry, in case you're interested. It's a bit scholarly and sounds promising, with poets such as Tony Hoagland contributing essays.
