Book launch and phafours press
Looking for your next reads?
footlights is coming out.
Dear phafours poet,
This is a one-time mailing that I’ve been meaning to do for yeeears.
You were one of the 85 poets I’ve published with phafours press since 2007. You’re in one of the 56 chapbooks.
I have Questions
You. What have you been doing? Some of you I know, most of you I've fallen behind. New work out or coming out?
Those of you who have a single-author chapbook with phafours, would you okay my making a pdf download available for free?
I have News
The 57th phafours press chapbook comes out this month: Crossing a Grave in Harmonium by David Groulx. I'm a huge fan of his writing and stoked to be pushing it. (It's $12 with Canadian shipping, by paypal or direct deposit).
Oct 26 at WritersFest. David Groulx launches his John Newlove chapbook, What the Haruspex Read in the Small Hours of My Body. I already bought my copy.
After more than 5 years, my next collection is ready. My 4th poetry collection releases this month(!) footlights (Radiant Press, 2020) ($20) can be ordered from your local independent bookstore, from the press, or from me.The more pre-orders, the better. It's my best poetry collection to date and the press did a wonderful job with it.
Pre-orders may get a downloadable colouring book version of footlights.
An audio book version will be up shortly, read in my own voice.
Events
There's a book trailer at the Radiant Press page on FB. Check it out anytime. It will eventually be ore accessible at youtube.
