I got my grant paperwork today. It's official.

I'm getting paid. To write poetry. By THE GOVERNMENT.

This is nuts, yo.

Thank you! Now I actually have to make something to show for myself. Aaaaagggh!

You ROCK.

I'm glad the artistic patronage system isn't totally dead.

I'll admit that the pragmatist part of my brain feels awfully weird accepting the money when some pretty crucial health bills are being cut. I just have to keep reminding myself that the people directly VOTED for this as a proposition on a ballot. And it's coming from a tax increase, not a budget compromise. Ah, MN! You are such a patron state.

i hope you'll share it with the class! (ie, us!) and i agree it's nice to see patronage of artists alive and well.
