			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright" title="books everywhere" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2383/2476188302_149dd2dd23.jpg" alt="" width="375" height="500" />Quickly now, a snippet of cleanhanded searchlores: <a href="http://books.google.com/books?as_q=&amp;num=100&amp;btnG=Google+Search&amp;as_brr=1&amp;as_pt=ALLTYPES&amp;as_sub=poetry&amp;as_drrb_is=q&amp;as_minm_is=0&amp;as_maxm_is=0">A method of finding free poetry that doesn&#8217;t step on any moral grass medians.</a></p>
<p>This question of morality in fetching information is a stickyslick one, and I haven&#8217;t plumbed the full track of its stone wall for uneven spots yet. (If you have thoughts, I would like to hear them: Where are the boundaries?) There are, and always will be, <a href="http://www.bittorrent.com/">nefarious</a> <a href="http://www.newzbin.com/">means</a> of <a href="http://dcplusplus.sourceforge.net/">procuring</a> reading material&#8211;and it&#8217;s wise to keep these methods shambling along, preserved for the hour when you need them for samizdat, to smuggle free speech beneath a hostile government&#8211;but remember, kids, writers like to get paid. If you don&#8217;t pay the writer, the writer may go away. So pay for what you value, and if you do, maybe your favorite writers won&#8217;t go away until they write you another book. (One way to get around this is to only love writers who are already dead. You can find their <a href="http://librivox.org/newcatalog/">work</a> <a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/catalog/">in</a> <a href="http://bartleby.com/">several</a> places.)</p>
<p>Go now, my lemursnails of finding, and peruse what you may use.</p>
<p>Addendum: As I was about to post this, I learned that <a href="http://www.searchlores.org/">Fravia+</a>, the genius of search, died last May. He taught me a lot, and I&#8217;m sad that he&#8217;s gone.</p>
