What’s in the new chapbook (not in this order):

Revisiting Roses and Violets
Chrysler
Why I Left Home
Mission Statement
Punk
Seafoam Green
In America
Political Art
DIY
Poem Was a Man
Cante Jondo For the Left Side
Radioactive Artist
The Kathy Bag
Conspiracy
Getting Ahead

I know I left a lot of stuff out that people had suggested, but decided to keep it relatively small, and go for more range by including stuff from all my various chapbooks instead. There will likely be a volume 2 (which technically will be a new chapbook, and I had planned this to be the last; but I will not do another collection of new stuff, so I think this is ok) later on.

With the exception of “Cante Jondo”, this pretty much covers the bulk of my basic slam repertoire, too — so that demon is exorcised.

“Revisiting…” is also a brand new, never released anywhere else poem. Although all the regulars know it.

Some of you may be receiving e-mails shortly about possibly contributing a blurb. Stay tuned, and thank you in advance…

Just sent the text of my next chapbook off to Sou for layout.

It’s a collection of “greatest hits” as it were — poems from the last twenty years of writing.

Not a huge collection — decided to stick with a handful of pieces versus a larger collection (there will have to be a volume 2, I think).

I’ll print the list tomorrow.

Now then: gonna choose a few folks to blurb me for the acknowledgement page…
