Leaving Paris eBook, new poetry and more

Cape Cod Morning by Edward Hopper

The eBook edition of Leaving Paris is now available for the Amazon Kindle. The eBook is also available in the .mobi format for Kindle and .ePub format for iPad, iPhone, Nook, etc. directly from Sibling Rivalry Press. Thank you so much to all of you who have asked about the eBook and waited patiently for its release. Sibling Rivalry Press wanted to make sure the digital version looked just as good as the print. They do fantastic work!

Speaking of Sibling Rivalry Press, the big summer fundraiser was a giant success! The press was offered a $25,000 grant if they could raise the same amount. The goal was met last week. SRP is on its way to becoming a nonprofit and bringing you more fiction, poetry and nonfiction that disturbs and enraptures. Publisher Bryan Borland was in Atlanta on July 26 for a special SRP reading with me, Megan Volpert, Theresa Davis, Brent Calderwood and Kaveh Akbar. It was beautiful reading and books were flying out the door. Many thanks to all those who came out to support us.

I have a new poem called "Turning" at The Ekphrastic Review. It's based on the Edward Hopper painting "Cape Cod Morning." A second new poem will appear in August. Many thanks to editor Lorette Luzajic for selecting my work.
