A poem, A regret

InTheShop said...
Garyi - I have a draft of that book in my briefcase (80 pages, mostly free verse with some prose).
At the moment I'm thinking of self-publishing it.
Andrew

Great.

Sign me up for a first edition, and get it done!!

Gary

It is the way to go for this book. I've talked to a number of folks who've done the self-publishing thing and poetry seems like a perfect fit for that.

Andrew, I just had a thought. Tall Allen is a published author and if you email him you might be able to get some advice about how to proceed.

this actually is a stranger thread than the no subject one...for various reasons..few of which can be pinned on ITS...a lot of 20th century thinkers...struggling to grasp a century close to 20 years in.....' youth a wonderful thing...so glad to waste it on our youth'...no apologies to G.B.Shaw...he was an apologist for nihilism and wouldn't know what to do with it anyway...him and Nieztche….consumed them selves[ along with Christopher Hutchens ...btw....yes Chris i'll put you right up there with the great non-thinkers...trapped in a self made box named Shrodinger} and they never did get any stronger... wiser or opened.and according to them...ironically...never will...IMO...ahh...the coffee...the rising surf north shore...a wonderful wife...what...me worry?? PS "follow your bliss"...in the shop...the shop still is open...right!!!
