Note to Rollipokers pilfered from The Rollipoke News:

Please think hard about supporting this book--in some ways the nearest to me of all my books, the poems having appeared as a great, rejoicing flood of surprise--from the wonderful Phoenicia Publishing of Montreal, the small-press brainchild of Elizabeth Adams. It will make me happy if you do, as the Red King, the Fool, and Precious Wentletrap are eager to leap from their world to yours.

Clive's harpy
from the interior illuminations!

Thank you to Micah Mattix and Prufrock News 
for mentioning the book in Friday's newsletter!

  1. Pre-ordered a copy! And I appreciate that my entire payment will go to you and Phoenicia and that Amazon won't get a penny.

    1. Dana, just got back into town... so far I think it's just up at Phoenicia, but I will get the hc and pb ISBNs and post here. May take a day or two if I don't get hold of the publisher immediately, but I won't forget.

    1. Scott, I can't wait for you to read it also... you always have such interesting things to say. I need to catch up with what you're doing.... when I catch up with what I'm doing!

    3. Not doing much. That sounds delightful. Although I don't know if I believe it! You always seem to be doing much!

Alas, I must once again remind large numbers of Chinese salesmen and other worldwide peddlers that if they fall into the Gulf of Spam, they will be eaten by roaming Balrogs. The rest of you, lovers of grace, poetry, and horses (nod to Yeats--you do not have to be fond of horses), feel free to leave fascinating missives and curious arguments.
