“Latitude” is included in my chapbook, From Every Moment a Second, now available for pre-publication order from Finishing Line Press. It was first published at Poetry Breakfast in October 2016. Many thanks to Cate T. for sponsoring the title during the August 2015 Tupelo Press 30/30 Challenge, and to Charlotte the hen for laying the egg that inspired the poem.
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 this poet in his commercial endeavor (which does seem a tad strange), and are able, please purchase your copy during this period, which runs through August 11. The book’s tentative release date is October 6.

Ha. Thanks very much. I hope Charlotte is proud and still laying such beauties! And hey, we’re practically poetic cousins or some such. You’re Michael V’s friend, right?

Yes! I visited Michael in New York last year en route from New Orleans to Germany. Are you in one of the famed spots where Michael and I have banged our heads together so ferociously (Austin, California, NY)? If you want to talk more offline, you can email me at drggautier@gmail.com

Austin! I visited him in Sacramento a couple of times, and he’s been through here a few times since the last move. Trying to plan a trip to NY sometime. Will definitely contact you offline.

You have a wonderful Masterpiece Theatre-like voice. Quite soothing and hypnotic. Do more please! And if this was conceived and born of an egg, what will bacon do? 😂😂

Charlotte is getting a big head — which looks silly on a chicken — due to ongoing publicity about her beautiful egg. Just sayin.’
