re: especially the deer, a book of poems coming out from sundress publications
i feel REALLY strange doing this, but mm. there could be this book, in a couple weeks, and i suppose i am within it (?). sorry, it's just that talking about this makes me nervous. like i could jinx it. besides, you know i'm so not cool enough to fake acting casual about anything like this. i am an uptight control freak, remember? about some things...
anyway. all insecurities and paranoia aside. erin has been massively supportive, especially given that i'm a cranky and difficult unpoet to deal with, i think...she puts up with it though, even comes to me with kindness--like, i don't even make the initial move. i can't quite get over that. it is so unwarranted; i'm small. but it has meant a lot to me, indeed.
so. if you are interested in this, or already inclined to buy the book, information about purchase (and samples, actually) are here. i would appreciate it, 'cause it supports sundress and sundress is supportive of all manner of poets, and it has been quite influential in terms of protocol for establishing online writing communities as i see them today. also, julie and tyurina's work is goodgood (i've had a crush on julie for years).
as for my bit, i'm pretty shy and uneasy about it, 'cause that's my way. it's not affectation, i swear. i promise. i just--it hasn't stopped being uncomfortable, to be examined and scrutinized by people who i hold in high esteem, or just know somehow and am glad to know. i don't know, judgment. weak me.
this is one of the major reasons i don't consider myself a poet--lack of mettle in this area.
these are older poems, and it's sort of strange for me to see them again, in tangible form no less. maybe something good will come of it, internally speaking. in the meantime, thanks for listening.
ps. some of bryce's artwork is included in my section, at least last i checked...he's great too; in the past he's responded to my writing in "memorable ways." it's hard to flesh that out, but it's true. i'm basically just saying he is superneat (yes, superneat) and i think one of the sources of hope or some semblance of confidence i might gather from this strange wired place. she has repeatedly been kind and eye-opening in terms of feedback as well. and he as well. ...if any of you would be interested in a copy, let me know, and i'll send you one, okay?)
(thank you. really.)
