Happy Mail Monday
Yes! Don’t forget to hit up The Red Ceilings Press for a copy, and don’t forget to read more NAP!
I’m excited to announce that Red Ceilings Press has released an official limited edition of my chapbook, A SOFT THAT TOUCHES DOWN &REMOVES ITSELF. This limited edition is a pretty little A6 pocket size version expanded with a few new poems and a spiffy redesigned cover by Miles Donovan.
This is a limited run of 40. I have about half of those here. So, let’s sweeten it: if you’re in the US, send me $5.50 and I’ll send you a chapbook along with a spiffy postcard featuring the heart artwork on one side and a handwritten poem on the other.

In his most recent blog post, Ben Tanzer says kind things about my latest NAP chapbook, A SOFT THAT TOUCHES DOWN &REMOVES ITSELF. Also featured is a chapbook by Greg Santos that I have not yet read, but I will be sure to remedy that situation in the near future. I suggest you join me. Thanks, Ben, for both the kindness and the recommendation!
Shawn Misener has posted his review of my NAP chapbook, A SOFT THAT TOUCHES DOWN &REMOVES ITSELF, at the excellent Clutching at Straws website. Thanks, Shawn!

There will be a small number of print copies available as well, though I haven’t decided how to best handle them.

Kind words from Miles Donovan, the cover artist for my forthcoming chap from NAP Literary Magazine. Thank, Miles!
Awhile ago David Tomaloff contacted me about using an image I made as art for a chapbook of his. It appears that this is actually happening - NAP is going to put out Mr DT’s book, and if you scroll down a little bit through this post at their blog you can see the cover I contributed. Did I mention that it’s an excellent read? Now I have.

NAP Literary Magazine has announced it will release my e-chap, A SOFT THAT TOUCHES DOWN &REMOVES ITSELF, as part of its chap series in August 2011. The e-chap will be third in the series, which kicks off with Amanda Laughtlan’s VITAL TO VICTORY (out now!). Thanks, Chad!
I am also happy to report that the cover art for A SOFT THAT TOUCHES DOWN &REMOVES ITSELF was provided by one of my favorite artists, Miles Donovan of The Daily Robot. Check him and buy his excellent prints!
