This email just in from Larry D. Thomas, 2008 poet laureate of Texas: “Wow, did I just receive some good news! The Houston Chronicle, in honor of National Poetry Month, is printing a poem each day in April in the "Star" (features) section. Fritz Lanham, the Chronicle book editor, just notified me that he had selected "A Matter of Color" from my New and Selected Poems for publication in the series. What wonderful publicity for the book that will be! The Chronicle has close to a half-million subscribers. Some of the poets whose work has appeared this month are James Tate, Tony Hoagland, Adam
Zagajewski, Emily Dickinson, and Gerard Manly Hopkins. Not bad company, huh? I feel so very privileged.
All best,
Larry”

TCU Press is thrilled for Larry Thomas, whose poetry deserves to be widely recognized. We also congratulate The Houston Chronicle for its decision to dedicate the month of April to poetry. Now it’s no longer the cruelest month, no matter what T.S. Eliot might say….
