Give Your Poets a Kiss!



We at Literary Makeovers look forward to a better world, one in which merchandising far outweighs the actual content of a poem or the talent of a poet. Imagine it: William Carlos Williams lunchboxes! High modernist trading cards! Baudelaire action figures, complete with ennui!


Until then, we can only hope to emulate the one band that has taken rock stardom to a whole new level.


Kisses,


KTB and EJP


Clockwise from upper left: Wallace Stevens, Ezra Pound, Marianne Moore, and T. S. Eliot
