Lovely cover. Can't wait to read it. I just ordered 2, one for myself and one for the brother. Yippee!
Fantastic!
Hello, Paul-
I'll be ordering your book! I recently discovered your work and am really digging it. Just started my own blog and linked you there. I edit New Zoo Poetry Review...hope you'll send some work my way in the future.

Paul, have you participated in the latest book meme making the rounds?
If not, I tagged ya.
Baby, you're it.
(grin)
Yay! I'm going to pick this up too. I meant to tell you a couple of months ago that I taught the kids in my poetry class a couple of poems from your first book, and they loved them! (unlike everyhting else I tried to make them read...)
