The Fast Places

Chapbooks are funny things. They’re not quite books in the proper sense (here’s the wikipedia entry on chapbooks) but (arguably) they’re just as challenging to put together. I’ve got a little chapbook coming out on Thursday May 29, 2008. It’s called “The Fast Places” and it features work inspired by my recent bouts with embolisms and death. It’s part of the first run from publishers Red Nettle Press – a small Edmonton press operated by a couple of exceedingly talented lasses. I’m very proud to be a part of their inaugural publishing run, and I’d like to invite you to the official opening party and champagne bottle smashing ceremony.
