A semi-regular roundup of stuff we like from the internets and youtubes:

-Dolly Freed has been blogging for Powells this week. If you ever wanted to know how to prepare that bird that kamikazeed into your window, now’s your chance.

-Poet Heather Christie is doing a live reading/Q&A tonight at htmlgiant. She won me over last time she read in Portland, and her collection, A Difficult Farm, is fantastic.

-Our pal Steve Almond on DIY publishing.

-R.I.P. J.D. (also Howard Zinn)

-Preview of the new Walker Percy documentary (!) via Maud Newton

-Stephen Elliott takes down Taylor Antrim’s take down of Nick Flynn and Alex Lemon (both of whom we adore).
