Monday report, 7/26/2024

Hello all —
Couple of things.

1.
The chapbook for “Incredible Roses” has been out for a week; I’ve received three requests for it. $5 didn’t seem like a lot, but perhaps it is. I’ll leave it up for another week and then pull it down.

2.
At the end of the month (August 2024) I’ll severely curtail posting new poems here. Maybe one or two a week; Sunday will remain as a guidepost to only send a poem to registered members.

I need to get hunkered down on my recovery from the strokes. Overall, the recovery has gone well, but in the last few weeks I’ve slowed and even slipped back a bit. Going to take a long while. I hope to be back sooner rather than later, but…

Hope you are well enough. Please get in touch with me if you have any questions.

~~~~~~~~~~~~
onward,

In case you’re interested….

The fine online journal for the small poetry press world, “The Poetry Question,” just published this short article I wrote for their ongoing series, “The Power Of Poetry.”  Take a look and follow them, if you wish, on Twitter or Facebook,  I thank them for the opportunity.

The Power Of Poetry #92: Tony Brown


Note to readers of this blog

I’m going to take a short break from adding poems here, and from writing in general.  

I’m not exactly in a creative lull; more that I’ve got a few things going on that need more attention from me and health issues are draining my energy for all endeavors. While normally writing is the last thing that I reduce time for, it’s time I tried something different to see if it helps. 

For those of you who read daily, many thanks. You keep me going, and I’ll be back soon. I promise.

In the meantime, there are over 3300 poems on this blog going back to 2010, and more available before that in the archives that were transferred from my old LiveJournal pages. I’d love to have you check those out.

In addition, there is an ongoing community on my Patreon site (https://www.patreon.com/TonyBrown) where I discuss various aspects of the work.  I’ve collected some of my poems into eBooks there, and will be releasing my selected poems of 2019 shortly.  It’s only $1 a month to join at the most basic level, and that gets you access to video blogs, new music releases, and the like. Higher donations get higher rewards, of course.

I look forward to seeing you all again soon.  

Onward,
Tony
