BlurbAs a standard response to the numerous requests which she received to favorably review ("blurb") books by fellow authors, Margaret Atwood once composed a poem which concluded thus:
So I wish you good luck, and your author and book,
Which I hope to read later, with glee.
Long may you publish and search out the blurbs,
Though you will not get any from me.
Atwood, Margaret Eleanor (1939- ) Canadian writer [noted for her short stories and for such longer
works as her feminist novels The Edible Woman (1969) and The Handmaid's Tale (1985)]
