Damn, that's a pretty hefty collection.
But I'd love to read "Elegy For Graham Parsons." Is it out in the world?

It is hefty. Too hefty, really. But that's the way I go. I had to trim about 15 pages from my first book; it'll likely be the case with this one.
"Elegy for Gram Parsons" appeared in LitRag, issue 16. But I'll post it here for you.
