3 Anniversaries...

This time of year is always special for me. It brings with it 3 separate personal anniversaries:

It’s been 35 years since my mom left the hospital following her first cancer remission — a tremendously important thing for my entire family. Her Life Day is always worth celebrating.

It’s also been 20 Years since my very first acceptance. It’s hard to believe I’ve been stalking the wilds of the small press for two decades now.

And last but not least, it’s been 1 year since the release of my first novel Chinese Gucci.

To commemorate these 3 high-water marks, use the code 3ANNIVERSARIES between now and December 1st to take 30% off everything in the STORE.

GPP Declassified!

In 2006, the Guerilla Poetics Project put out it's first few letterpress-printed broadsides, and so began one of the coolest small press ideas I've seen to this day. For 2 and a half years, the GPP was a nameless, faceless, wholly democratic collective that made a little noise while getting 50,000+ broadsides of small press poets out in bookstores and libraries the (mainly English-speaking) world over. For the first time you can peek behind the curtain, and hear a bit about how it worked by listening to Michael J. Phillips' terrific podcast THIS IS NOT A TEST.
