In the Parlance: Poems, new print chapbook from yours truly

From the overnight, a new print chapbook combining recent artwork and poems by B. Biesek (poet Born Before). A set of 12 poems, written without much attention to anything other than the process; subject matter ranging from social observations to defining, through words, a felt sense-of-place. Poet resides in San Luis Obispo and has published off and on with the small presses since 2007, with 8+ publication credits so far in 2014.

Says the poet, "Yes... in the parlance, the soup, as it were."

Print chapbook, 20 pp., 5.5"x8.5", $4.00 for first edition print. Add $3.00 for shipping & handling. Click here to pre-order. (Chapbook ships June 15, 2014.)

Minor case.

Working towards a showing of art but feeling a case of the Blahs; such is life.

Sermon on the dais: Not really, just a blog posting: Very pleased today to see the light at the end of some, this, tunnel, a tunnel that has led to copious bits of poetry writing. That I am tailoring, now, a poetry manuscript at 60,000+ words is, meaningful yet redundantly blind. Well, very pleased to have support from family and friends. I think next year’s will be far; more raucous.
