Are plans still on to publish your collected poems?

[Aberjhani]

"You did an interview with author Vanessa Richardson 5 years ago where you said you planned to publish a volume of collected poems called Collected Visions of a Skylark Dressed in Black. Cover art for a book with that title has been on the internet for a couple of years but there’s no book listed for ordering anywhere. Is it still going to get published? The interview is still online. url http://thecertainones.blogspot.com/20... "

I hope it still gets published but so far proposals have not drawn the interest of any publisher I would like to see put it out there. It’s the kind of book that deserves the full traditional publishing process to help promote it, place it in libraries, and get it in schools. If that doesn’t happen, I may consider alternatives. I'm very glad though that we were able to publish the first U.S. edition of the original Visions of a Skylark Dressed in Black.

Thanks for reminding me about that interview with the talented Vanessa Richardson. Interesting to step back 5 years in the past to see what I was doing then and compare it to where I am now. Curiously enough, the idea of a compilation like Journey through the Power of the Rainbow Quotations from a Life Made Out of Poetry was nowhere near the radar at that time.
