The Lilac Years—Ebook available now!
My latest collection of poems, The Lilac Years, will be available in ePub and Kindle formats on April 30!
The Smashwords edition will be available in your choice of ePub or Kindle format:
https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/818400. This is the version that will also be available from Apple, Barnes & Noble, and so on.
The Kindle edition available from Amazon is available only from Amazon—but you can get it for free when you purchase a copy of the print edition (details below). (If you are a Kindle person, I recommend this version, as it preserves the formatting more faithfully than the Smashwords edition does.) Here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CJPV6HX.
As for the print edition, you may recall from before:
You can get it from Amazon and Barnes and Noble, or you can check IndieBound for a bookstore in your area to order it from.

Since I am still working out a couple of persistent printing problems with the interior, I have pushed back the publication/on-sale date of The Lilac Years to April 16, 2018. This will give me enough time to make any changes necessary to eliminate or work around the problems I have encountered. Continue reading
Exquisite corpse poem in The Seattle Star
Recently I participated in another Creative Commons celebration in Seattle. As part of the festivities, participants were asked to contribute a couple of lines to an exquisite corpse poem—a poem constructed a line or two at a time, which each participant seeing and responding to only a single line.
The Seattle Star, the fine folks who put on the event, have published the poem on their website. Here is the link: http://www.seattlestar.net/2018/02/the-glazier-and-the-barber/
