New Chapbook

0 min read
Friends in my writers' group and elsewhere have been encouraging me to put together a collection of my poetry.  I've done it a few times before, little comb-bound chapbooks I put together by hand at Office Depot and sold for a little more than it cost to make them.  But if I'm going to do it again, I want to make it a bit nicer.  I'll go through one of the online print-on-demand sites, either Lulu or LightningSource, which will save me many hours of time and let me sell a nicely bound 6x9 paperback of about 100 pages for around $12.  I've asked my daughter, a very fine artist, if she'd be interested in doing some drawings, both to illustrate

NaPoWriMo was good for me.  I didn't quite reach the goal of 30 poems in 30 days.  Actually, I fell short by about 23, unless you count 1 haiku, 1 unfinished piece, and 1 bit of doggerell not even good enough to post in Scraps.  But the 7 I posted were more poetry than I had written in a month in a very long time, like maybe ever.  And they were a breakthrough in another way, in that they were neither romantic nor spoken word.  I'm finally waking up to the fact that I have other things to say that might be best said poetically.  Especially, I'm glad to find I can write about my work and the many lessons my patients are teaching me.  Hopefully

Lincoln Duncan

Lincoln Duncan By Paul Simon Couple in the next room bound to win a prize. They've been going at it all night long. Me, I'm trying to get some sleep, but these motel wall are cheap, Lincoln Duncan is my name and here's my song, here is my song. My papa was a fisherman, my mama was a fisherman's friend. And I was born in the boredom and the chowder. So when I reached my prime, I left my home in the maritime, And headed down the turnpike for New England, sweet New England. Holes in my confidence, holes in the knees of my jeans. I was left without a penny in my pocket. Oo-oo-wee, I was bout as destituted as a kid could be. And I wi

:+devwatch: ... okay? Done after your essay got "Pick of the Day" in DLDs, 3/7/12. I have an old journal entry about writers that's somewhat similar, though not about love poetry.
Hey there! I just wanted to inform you that I featured your beautiful turquoise work right here:

Enjoy!
Good to see you're still here!
I haven't logged in for over a year but suddenly had to urge to see what had come of everything.
thanks for faving "Fragile".
If you're still around, I've posted a new poem and I'd love your thoughts. It's a just a little bit gritty, though, be forewarned.

Ed, I'd just like to say that you and as an extension of yourself your son have been a great influence in my life. You are almost a father figure to me and your son has become my brother. I hope you don't mind me adopting myself into your family over the years =P

And for the love of anything bigger than ourselves. Don't stop writing.
Hi Ed! It's good to see you around again. I haven't really been on DA much myself, being in my honours year at university kind of takes up all my time. I happened to be looking over some of my old stuff, and I noticed your name didn't have the "!" next to it any more so I decided to investigate :D

Today is poetry day in New Zealand. Pity I couldn't stay to listen to the readers!
