The e-book editions of 8: Eight-word Poems will be available this Friday, October 27th. You can pre-order at the links below…
The print edition of 8: Eight-word Poems is now officially available! I do not have any copies myself yet, but the book is available for ordering on Amazon and Barnes & Noble—and Barnes & Noble is still discounting it at $13.86. The links appear below…
Files for the e-book editions have been uploaded to Smashwords and Kindle Direct Publishing for review. I have also uploaded a slightly revised interior to IngramSpark, since I found a numbering error as I was formatting the e-book documents—just the excuse I needed to fix the remaining seven-word poem (which is now eight), and make a word substitution to another poem (so it would make more sense).
I have set up the e-book editions to become available on 27 October from Smashwords and several Amazon sites (US, UK, India, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Japan, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, and Australia); they should be available for pre-ordering next week.
The pre-order links and preliminary info from the last update are repeated below.

I thought I might collect my eight-word poems from August in chapbook form—until I discovered they took up about 140 pages or so. So… Continue reading
