My Chapbook, THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF OTHER, is Included in the Silver Birch Press Chapbook Collection IDES

Posted on October 6, 2015 by robert okaji

My chapbook, The Circumference of Other, is one of fifteen contained in Ides, the Silver Birch Press one-volume collection of chapbooks scheduled to be released on October 15, 2015. Ides is priced at $15, and rounds out at 283 pages. I believe it will be available through Amazon. Many thanks to editor and publisher Melanie Villines for including my work alongside that of such a fantastic group of poets.

Way to go, Bob! And, wow, $15 is a steal for that much poetry. The Sharon Olds I got this year or the last, new and softcover (nothing fancy) $15 or $20, probably 30 pages.

At the risk of sounding like an idiot, what is a chapbook? Congratulations for being included!

In today’s poetry market, it’s usually something less than a full-length book, typically a pamphlet. Silver Birch Press took a different approach – instead of publishing 15 separate chapbooks, they combined 15 chapbook-length works into one book.
