In researching for my previous post I came across the above, a Google Books search result showing that my blog, The Daily Beat, was referenced in a book, The Spiritual Imagination of the Beats by David Stephen Calonne. In particular, Calonne cited my 2009 interview with Helen Weaver (click here).
Now, I think that is pretty cool. I don't know David and I haven't read the book (but I'd like to if someone -- hint, hint -- would send me a review copy), but it appears to be pretty legit (e.g., it was published by Cambridge University Press). And David is a legit author (Google him is you don't believe me), having written books about Charles Bukowski, Diane di Prima, William Saroyan (mentioned here recently), and Henry Miller.
It's nice to know my blog is being used at all, but especially in a scholarly way. That makes the retired college professor in me break into a smile.
