It's live! The paperback and ebook versions of
confessions from a drainage ditch are available from that river website!
Linky link!
This one is a HUGE DEAL for me, as I did all the writing, editing, layout, converting, and listing myself, instead of going with any sort of middleman (aside from the one obvious one), and so I'd be so frickin happy if you were to support it. Get it, share it, and most importantly, REVIEW it. The alg gods love that sort of thing.
A Void and Cloudless Sky hit just over 60 copies at its release peak, I'd love to get close to that number, since this is a larger book for less!
Over a decade of poetry in here! From literally my first published poem to literally my most recent!
Here's a lil taster:
Our Memory of Your Grandfather's Strop
I simply repeat your words
back to you.
Sometimes you ask how its
I remember these things.
It’s not so difficult. I just
say them in ways you don’t recognize.
It’s a trait you have that I seem to have
inherited—this ability to forget my own
history, my own thinking.
The first test is a turtle.
The second test is your mother.
The third test is rain.
The final test is poetry.
Would we remember the snake
found in the flower bed?
I would like to come home,
but you do not
remember what you created.
I like to think that you’d understand
this multiplicity and the steps of myth
created out of no bodies.
So yeah. Hope you like it, hope you share it around.
Thanks so much, and much love to you all. I literally couldn't do this without you.
