Looking for a book

Okay, who did I lend my copy of Elizabeth Hand's Mortal Love too?

I really should be better at writing that stuff down. I'm always scratching my head trying to remember who I lent something too when I notice a book I want is gone off my shelf.

Hart Crane's The Tunnel

Anyone know where I can get an ecopy of Hart Crane's "The Bridge", especially the section "The Tunnel". I can't find it through google so I'm assuming it is not out there, which is weird. Oh well. I think library night is tonight (and for bibliophiles out there if you ever want to see mega-cute you should go with my kids to the library) but given work I probably will have to reschedule that too. But when I go to the library I can find a copy there.

EDIT: Fixed the poet's name.

(no subject)

A staple premise of much of genre fantasy and SF is that only through the iron will of heroes can the world be saved - and those heroes are not regular people, they are extraordinary beings. An extreme extent of this viewpoint is that we should all just do as they say, because they know best. While this is strongest of stock genre fantasy/SF (and rightly made fun of) its pretty standard in genre TV (Buffy anyone?), comic books and yes, gaming.

I’m not interested in arguing about wish-fulfillment and political messages and the rest. It’s enough for this post to acknowledge that it exists and then to think of my recent roleplaying, specifically Age of Paranoia and Tantaene Animis Caelestibus Irae.
