A few weeks ago, I wrote about Tony Brown”s continuing column at GotPoetry.com. In addition to Zero Point Zero, Tony hosts an open mike reading at the Reflections Cafe in Providence every Tuesday night, has work featured in 100 Poets Against the War and numerous other places and is just one of those poets who spreads the word - spoken or written. So what”s all that got to do with a Hollywood blockbuster-to-be? And why is this book on Monday”s bookshelf?

Because back in March, Tony posted a poem at GotPoetry called - you guessed it - Snakes on a Plane. You can read it here, but you”ll need to register. Do it. It”s worth it - not just for Tony”s poem, but because the site is just that good. But I digress. Getting back on track… a link to Snakes on a Plane ended up on Snakesonablog.com, where it sparked a whole series of Snakes on a Poems. I told you, Tony spreads poetry wherever he goes. The movie will be released August 18, but the book, Snakes on a Plane: The Guide to the Internet Ssssssensation, which contains Tony”s poem along with a smattering of others, is available now from Thunder”s Mouth Press, or at Amazon.com. It may not tell you where to sell your poetry or help you write better poetry, but sometimes a book is just good plain fun - like, you know, Snakes on a Plane.
