My Chapbook is Forthcoming from Dink Press

Posted on February 10, 2015 by robert okaji

My chapbook, If Your Matter Could Reform, is scheduled for release in April as Dink Press’s initial publication in its National Poetry Month Series.

https://dinkpublishing.wordpress.com/2015/02/09/dink-press-2015-publishing-catalog-as-of-2915/

I’m very pleased, as you might imagine. Many thanks to Kristopher Taylor for accepting the manuscript. Let the celebration begin!

    Thank you! I hope you will also be posting there. (My spooneristic mind and aging crossed eyes keep reading Dink Press as Pink Dress!)
