Naturally I went to their site and searched on my own stuff, and what a surprise to see my junior-year literary magazine from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reed.edu\">Reed College<\/a> listed for $49.99. That was not because I had some poems in it; rather, the contributors included <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lee_Blessing\">Lee Blessing<\/a>, who became a Pulitzer-winning playwright, and his friend the screenwriter <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eric_Overmeyer\">Eric Overmeyer<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Coming home from AAR-SBL, M. &#038; I had a layover in Chicago, so after coffee at her favorite hangout, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.intelligentsiacoffee.com\">Intelligentsia on Jackson Street<\/a>, we walked down to the Art Institute.

Either one would do. I would tell my freshmen students to try it, except that I don\u2019t think they would understand that I was speaking ironically.
