World Exclusive! A sneak peak at the cover of my next book!
Folks, lately my RedRoom numbers have been going through the roof, far out-stripping the visitors popping by my main blog, Beautiful Desolation.
As a kind of "thank you" and acknowledgement of the growing popularity of RedRoom, I'm offering fans of this site the very first peek at the cover of my next book, Stromata: Prose Works (1992-2011).
Stromata is intended as a kind of companion volume to my recently released New & Selected Poems--it's composed of short, narrative prose pieces that manage to be (simultaneously) surreal, unsettling and blackly humorous.
The poems are available (at Amazon or B & N or, better yet, your favorite indie bookseller) and Stromata should be out in the next 2-3 weeks.
Check out that cover...what do you think?
