After a cursory check of the soft (PDF) proof, I have ordered print proofs, which I hope to have in hand within the next couple of weeks.

It feels odd how quickly this one is coming together. Granted, choosing to include all of the poems from this particular writing challenge made that part of the process much easier, but I had not expected the cover to turn out right away. Usually, I go through many cover drafts (as with The Lilac Years) before making my selection; this time, I saw what I had, and knew it was exactly what I wanted. The only change I made was to scrap the horizontal line below the catalog number and add the eight vertical lines.
