Well we (PR committee of Literary Festival) did get into the Daily News. Tomorrow will tell what happened with the Current. There will hopefully at least be a photo.
It didn't go over quite as we had planned, but it was good. Instead of creeping and stealth, the two photographers kept telling us to smile as we deposited books in such "hidden" locations as a bench at Market Square.

Bryan Eaton (DN photographer) wanted nothing to do with us making our "escape" via the Mini Cooper. Nicole Goodhue Boyd (Current photographer) loved the Mini idea but had us beaming through the open back end of the vehicle instead of fleeing the scene.
"We're supposed to look menacing," we kept insisting, to no avail.
So if you find one of the books of poetry we left strewn about in various downtown locations and at The Tannery, read it and pass it along. Of course, the first person I gave one of Rhina Espaillat's books to today (my mother) refused to surrender it after reading the poems in the slim volume. Then my sister (the one who lives in Malden, for a change) came in and she also wanted a copy, after reading a few of the poems.
It's good stuff. Enjoy.
