Talking With The Taxidermist About Poetry

Bucky Turco discovered animal parts rearranger Nate Hill first, then we stole him when he was looking for an outlet to publish his Bible Rewrite serial. (After suggesting he pitch Salon and Radar to counter Slate's Blogging the Bible and finding no takers, YM's sacred burial ground was happily offered.) A friend says she refuses to read the site as long as pictures of dead animal are involved and Sac's initial reaction was pretty epic: "This is fantastic. When do we all get arrested?"

But now, BUT NOW, the New York Times has determined him fit to feature with "And on the Third Day, He Created the FlounderOctoFrog." Who's laughing and getting arrested but now? We congratulate Nate on the honor but ask him to keep us in the loop next time. We were pretty close to getting Remnick to greenlight the same thing for Talk of the Town. Also, the new Animal Planet might be a good place for you.
