[New-Poetry] from Dan Waber

[Anny Ballardini]

Well, it's official, my first full-length collection of lexical poetry
is ready to go.

The best way to get it is straight from the publisher at:

http://www.foothillspublishing.com/2008/id44.htm

Or you can contact me, I have some copies available, as well.

If you got the "advance notice" and pre-ordered, you should have your
copies shortly (if you don't have them already); and thanks! If this
is the first you're hearing of it, please visit the link above for a
sample poem, and an excerpt from the "After Words".

If you're the type that checks the blurbs first, here's a few for you
to consider:

"I found myself caught up in the autobiographical trueness of these
pieces, how Dan laid himself bare for all to view, and I was taken
especially by his many love poems, and their poignancy."--Geof Huth

"Tonight I read it in one sitting, couldn't put it down. Fascinating.
And I thought before I knew what was going on, as I didn't read the
afterword first. Yet with all the play there, a very vulnerable,
personal, open work. Risky, & rewarding."--Charles Alexander

"I put a lot of important bookstore tasks aside to read it, and I
couldn't stop. It's amazingly beautiful. Cinematic, too. I saw a lot
of the poems being read with two or three people, incorporating those
echoes before during, after the poems. If you ever need an extra
reader, I'm in."--Andrea Talarico

--

If you're in a position to help arrange any readings, let me know. My
Spring schedule is filling up pretty quick, but I'm always happy to
try and string multiple readings together whenever possible.
