Two Chapbooks Released Today!

One about Michelangelo, one about Philip K. Dick

I have two new chapbooks out today! The first is from Bottlecap Press and called Myself Am Ever Mine Own Counterfeit. It is a collection of sonnets based on/translated from/reacting to the sonnets of Michelangelo. You can buy it for $10 here.

Here’s one of the pieces:

Love and Sculpture

The greatest sculptor finds in whitest stone
his thought in stone. That’s all there is. He delves
beneath the surface for the rock of self.
His hand unearths his eye, his thoughts, his groans.

And so, in love, in you, I see not you
but my own thought. I sculpt with heart my heart
in your cool stone: lips that in welcome part;
stone lips that speak of heartlessness and rue.

I taste your tongue; with tongue I trace your thought:
your beauty, love, disdain, hard-heartedness,
and taste in each my pain and my hard care.

In you I shape my is and my is not;
the life we share; the life that from me slips.
No blame in you; I carve my own despair.

Again, I hope some of you will be interested in checking out the full chapbook at $10.

Also! I’ve got a microchapbook from Ghost City Press called Every Hyphenated Word in Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? which is exactly what it says on the tin. This one is free!

Again, this one is free. So buy the other and download this one as a bonus!
