Default New book, Abracadabratude

Just as we think the world might be easing back toward health and normalcy, along comes White Violet Press with my new book Abracadabratude. As with its predecessor, The Joke's on Me, the cover design is gorgeous and you're on your own as far as the contents are concerned.

The book is already available on Amazon, at least in the U.S., and if you PM me, I know a guy who can arrange for a signed copy.

*******

Since J.D. Smith was smart enough to include a link to the publisher's website with his new book announcement, I'm going to pretend that I'm smart, too.

Awesome! As you know, my mom told me she loved The Joke's on Me as bathroom material, and she's probably run out of pages by now.

Thanks, Julie. Like my verse, you and your mother have class up the yin-yang.

Great news, Chris, which prompted me to start re-reading my (signed!) copy of The Joke's on Me.

I'll need to have its companion, please.

Michael, Jayne, Melissa, Siham -- Thank you.

(Melissa, as with The Joke's on Me, this book includes a number of poems that made their debut in Light. That's what I call a proud tradition.)

Got it. Love it. If only I'd had it in time to illustrate for some poetry workshoppers how to do Loppety-choppety, Hookery-bookery, Badenov-hadenov, and similar feats of rhyme and meter. Or maybe, why?
