Everything I post until May 10th is going to be about The Great Gatsby.

...That's really the whole point of this post. But, honestly, it's my favorite book, and I'm so excited about the movie I can hardly handle it.

I'm still working on my poetry book and my next novel at the present moment, but they're going to be interrupted a bit by real life taking over, and by my rereading of The Great Gatsby. 

Did you know? Daisy and Gatsby's relationship is somewhat inspired by Zelda Fitzgerald and F. Scott themselves - Zelda originally declined F. Scott's proposal because he was too poor at the time.
