From Every Moment a Second
The prepublication sales period for my new chapbook, From Every Moment a Second, begins today, June 13, and runs through August 11. The book’s tentative release date is October 6. Please note: prepublication sales determine the print run, which means this stage is crucial in terms of how many copies will be printed and the number of copies I’ll receive as payment. So if you feel inclined to help, and are able, please purchase your copy during this period. Order here.
Many thanks to the members of this blog community for supporting my writing. I sit alone in my shack to write, but you are there with me, just a keyboard away. I am truly grateful for your wisdom and humor and willingness to help me traverse the strange and wonderful worlds of poetry and publication.
O at the Edges 
Done! Looking forward to it. Again, Congratulations!

Ordered! I love that it’s not shipping until October. My middle-aged brain will forget it’s coming by mid July. When the book is delivered in October it will be a complete surprise.

I know that sequence, Tami! Thank you very much.

Ordered! Do you have to wait wondering till August, or does FLP give you periodic reports of orders? Waiting can be maddening (with or without progress reports) – or, it could inspire a poem or two?

Thank you! They’re supposed to give periodic reports, but it still might inspire a poem or two. 🙂

Hey . . . I even got a spiffy postcard about it; I like it! I know exactly what I’m sending a poetry-loving friend, probably just because and not even necessarily for a holiday or anything.

Reblogged this on SLHARPERPOETRY and commented:
This sublime, new collection by our favorite poet in this world, Robert Okaji, is not to be missed!
Bob enlisted me to be his cover artist for FROM EVERY MOMENT A SECOND, and the ensuing creative endeavor proved to be nothing short of the honor and privilege of a lifetime, the result of which I’ll be unveiling on this blog soon!

Done! Now that’s 2 things to get me through winter- anticipation of the burst of colour in our garden from the ranunculi that I planted with my son and the arrival of your chapbook! I love the testimonies on the order page!

Ranunculi? Now I must google. And thank you, Mek. This has really been a collaborative effort – the cover blurbs, the artwork, the first review, are all from members of the blog community. Very humbling.
