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.

For those with their hand up asking the big question, YES, there will be a cash bar. Bring money for drinks and definitely bring some shekels for books. There’ll be signings, short readings, and much fellowshipping. Hope to see you all down there.
