Coincidence #2 - I was looking on Amazon earlier, to see what was out there in the 'Contemporary Poetry' section, as I'm thinking of putting together a collection of poems to self-publish this year, and was wondering 'how many is enough?'

The first item displayed was, bizarrely enough, a compendium of 6 Jack Reacher stories.

The second: The Iliad. Now there's contemporary for ya!

(Admittedly it was a newish translation of the text.)
