As mentioned elsewhere

I looked at the main AP site earlier and realized we hadn’t posted anything in five months. Between Literary Firsts, apt, and this site, I sometimes forget that there’s a main page that people visit.

So, I left a little update there, which you should look at because it mentions all the things that Robin, Randolph, J.F., and I are doing, such as:

A few weeks ago, Robin put a mini-comic together for MoCCA Art Fest called Shadowland. And, as one would expect, it’s just lovely. Check it out here (and, while you’re there, look at the new stuff she’s working on involving a hybrid of traditional illustration work and her shattered style).

Also, J.F. recently finished a new drawing–a 13′ drawing. It’s called The Distance between Memories, it’s larger than Randolph standing on my shoulders, and it’s beautiful. You can see it next weekend at Bushwick Open Studios.

And three of Randolph’s video poems were part of an event hosted by The Destroyer and Trickhouse!

And–the thing that I’ve been working on in fits and starts for what feels like months, but has actually been years (!)–my novella, The Mere Weight of Words, is now available for pre-order. You can order a signed copy which will be sent from the publisher to me, then signed by me, then mailed to you (by me!). Then you can read it and, while you do so, I’ll wait here in nervous agony, hoping you like it (and me), hoping you’ll e-mail me to tell me what you think.

While we’re both waiting (you for your copy of Mere, me for your e-mail), let’s watch the book trailer.

Also, if you live in/near these places:

Brooklyn (any of the 5 boroughs, really)

Bethlehem, PA (all of the Lehigh Valley)

Brookline (which is surrounded on all sides by Boston and is just across the river from Cambridge)

Manassas, VA (so close to DC, it’s crazy!)

You could come hear me read from the book in person.

That’s right. Tour dates. Join me, readers. Join me.
