		<description><![CDATA[When I think of how meaningful reading literary fiction has been in my life, I feel an author hoping to piece together bits of income to live a simple, low-overhead life is not asking for much.  To see it dip beneath this just doesn&#039;t seem right.  Poetry has also come to mean quite a lot to me and it is clear that poets follow a challenging path as well.  I believe the most powerful thing we can do is vote with our dollars to show what we value.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m optimistic. All manner of people are excited about the Hunger Games, and were about Harry Potter, and even Twilight--dim as that particular bulb may be. Folks reading these books are going to read the next thing that author puts out. Not only that, they&#039;re going to search for similar books, and they&#039;re eventually going to expand. Some kid is going to get handed Battle Royale, some other is going to find Grossman&#039;s The Magicians. Rowling herself is getting into lit-fiction, and as boring as that book sounds...the habit is being formed, and that&#039;s the critical thing.

Even with Twilight, this Fifty Shades of Grey malarkey? As embarrassing as it is for some, I guarantee you that in a week or a month someone will walk into a bookstore, say &quot;do you have anything else like this?&quot; and a clerk, wise on an opportunity, is going to say &quot;not exactly, but have you tried ____?&quot;]]></description>
