Handmade Poetry Book

Of course you can read all my poetry on my blog, but why would you want to do that, when you can have this cool handmade book delivered to your door for reading whenever you want, even when the power goes out?

I'm home-printing this book of 32 pages, and hand-binding it with a Japanese side stitch binding. The cover will have an image like the ones at left. I'll choose one for you.

$20  will get you a book, shipping included. If you're close enough to me that I don't have to ship it, 20 bucks gets you the book and coffee with the poet.

Buy through PayPal with a credit card (no PP account needed) by hitting the button below, or let me know if you want to pay by check, cash, or cupcakes.

Absolutely gorgeous. Are these your woodcuts? I very much like the sage holding up the cross to the crusader in greeting, it looks like, and admonishment. He seems to be saying, "Stop!, killing people in Jesus' name and welcome." Lovely.

Are you hand selecting the poems that go inside as well?

Dave...barefoot burned again...balking, buck naked, too high above the ground, I bend into myself and bury me against transparency....barely believing...

My heart says whoa... You caught the nuanced subtle movement where I chose for the one I love... Lizy

Eric- the woodcuts belong to Anghelika's grandfather, carved during WWII in Greece, when you couldn't get paint ...

Yes, all the poems are 'hand-written and -picked'. ;)

thanks bro.

Liz- ahh, yes. Thanks. (You heard that poem live, remember?)
