Viewless Wings Podcast

More PSALMS new chatter as the release date fast approaches (less than a month now!) — this time courtesy of Dublin, California’s Poet Laureate Emeritus, James Morehead and his Viewless Wings Podcast!

We had a great talk, where we got into some of the PSALMS process, the design and look of the book itself, and lots of other stuff. If you’ve got a long commute or a lunch hour to fill and are so inclined, we’d be honored if you gave it a listen!

The Missing Link!

If you were hoping to catch Sunday’s event, but the vagaries of this modern life simply conspired to keep you from it,..well, here at the HQ we’ve got you covered!

Here’s a link to watch at your leisure! I race through a handful of the Psalms From The Badlands, so as to keep things ticking along at a decent clip. Honestly, I probably should’ve read a few more…but, hey, I gotta save some for later, right?

Watch Here!

Also wanted to send a thank you to Emi and Brian McGettrick who stayed up late (on a school night even!) to tune in from out UK way, to Scot Young (who was not as far afield, but still made the effort) and, of course, my sweet Bacon Lady! I can’t say I’m used to or comfortable with readings yet, but seeing some familiar faces in the virtual crowd is always a big relief — and your thoughtful kindness deserves notice!

So thanks again!

Please Do Drop In...

Over at THE DEWDROP, they’ve been nice enough to feature a micro-gallery of some of the Psalms art and let me pontificate about the process a bit. So if you’re curious about the how and the why of the forthcoming Psalms From The Badlands, pop on over and give it a quick read!

I’m still making the books, in particular trying to figure out how to make some decent linocuts…so I don’t have any fancy finished pictures to share…but here’s a glimpse at the special edition — to wet the proverbial whistle! As ever, watch for my newsletter/mailing list for the pre-sale announcement.

NOT FOR SALE…

As previously mentioned, this hand-made micro-chapbook is NOT FOR SALE…nor will it ever be…

However, it happens to be NOT FOR SALE right now…and first, for all you long-time, die-hard supporters and co-conspirators…with my eternal gratitude.

Now, it’s still in the process of being finished, so it won’t go out for a while yet…but that’s no reason not to start putting together the mailing list…

Cheers!
