I promised everyone a preview of some art work from my newest Chapbook "Post Script, a book of afterthoughts" The picture to the left is part of the cover. There are about 4 or 5 drawings spaced throughout the publication, most have a surreal tint to them, some illustrate the images found in a few of the poems.

The Chapbook is coming along according to schedule. I'm waiting on a card stock order to come in, and then I can pretty much go to print!

Happy Weekend Everyone!

Well, it's been over a year since my last publication of linear poetry -- Run on Sentence, Run on! But I've been hard at work putting together a new chapbook of poetry and artwork. The poems being featured all have a surreal tint to them, a few of them being written after the style of selected Surrealist Poets of the 1920s. The tentative title is Post Script, a book of afterthoughts. It should be ready for release sometime in Mid-April, around the same time as illiterature. issue 1.

here's one of the poems from the book. I'll post one of the drawings soon.

Poem for Kingston

Welcome to this quiet afternoon
        the frozen lake
a single leaf clinging, the shuffle of boots
        the slow falling snow.

The bell tower tolls
        it’s four o’clock.
In the park the statues groan
  and shift their weight to the opposite foot.

Well, the deadline for submissions has passed. But, as expected, there are a few stragglers that I'm waiting on before I can make some final editing decisions. I've got a ton of great stuff, enough to fill up issue 1, and to spill over to issue 2!

The next steps will be to pick and choose the writers and poems that I'll keep for this issue and then sequencing the poems. I'm looking forward to seeing the collection take shape and form. It's all coming along according to schedule, so expect a release sometime mid-April.

Time for another cup of coffee!
