my milk toof

We really need to discuss My Milk Toof. It is part story, part blog created by Inhae Renee Lee. You see, the story is, when Renee was young, she placed her baby teeth under her pillow and when she woke up she found a shiny new quarter.

Many years later, a little tooth was standing at her door. Its name was Ickle. Her milk toof had returned, and it brought along a friend named Lardee! Since this homecoming, Inhae has begun documenting their return.

The Gods of Publishing need to give Lardee and Ickle their own book. I wish when I was a kid and had put my baby teeth under my pillow and woke up to a book about the jubilant escapades and adversity tribulations of a pair of milk toofs!

Popshot magazine

Jacob Denno has an agenda: to expose poetry to a wider, younger and more diverse audience and attempts to steal it back from its rather musty reputation and has come up with Popshot, an art book/magazine, that has a combination of poetry & illustration.

They’re in their second issue and this round the magazine has the work of illustrators such as Spencer Wilson, Valero Doval, Clare Mallison, Bob London, Henri Draws and Julia Pott.
