Coming Soon...

I have started pulling together a book of poems from Peeling Wallpaper. My plan is to organize the best ones into a chapbook. I am motivated to do this for two reasons. One I just love the word chapbook. It is so pretentious and snooty. “Yes, my chapbook ‘The Curves of a Rectangle’ will be published next month by The Bloated Nymph Press.” Can’t you just see it? It is so me. My second motivation for publishing a chapbook is that it will be out in time for the upcoming holiday season. I hate holiday gift shopping. This way I can sit down with a stack of my chapbooks, inscribe each one, wrap them up in shiny holiday paper and ship them off to everyone I know in place of the Spencer Gift quality crap I usually send. It will be nice to know that a chapbook I wrote and published is now shoring up the short legs of wobbly tables all over the world. Rest assured, my chapbook will be published on only the finest parchment. Should you find yourself in your library with a little piece of something stuck between your teeth and no toothpick in sight, look no farther than the cover of my chapbook. Maybe I’ll even make my chapbook mint flavored.
