Friends,

I've recently had the pleasure of working with two really wonderful publishers in producing two books I am very proud of.

Most recently, I co-edited Down This Crooked Road with RD Armstrong of Lummox Press.  The book is an anthology of sorts, containing work by myself as well as some of my favorite contemporary poets:  MK Chavez, Christopher Robin, Father Luke, Miles J. Bell, Hosho McCreesh and Chris Cunningham.  I hand picked the poets for the collection myself, so if you like my work and trust in my judgmentl, I'd encourage you to give it a look.

Legendary Outlaw poet Todd Moore recently review the collection, calling it  "...some of the best poetry to appear for a while."

Sample poems and ordeing info. can be found here:

Also available is my most recent collection of poetry, The Hunger Season.  Sunnyoutside did a really wonderful job with this book.  We worked on it over a couple of years, and I truly think it's a strong collection of my work.  A recent review can be read here:

The book can be ordered on Amazon or directly through sunnyoutside:

Thanks for reading and please forgive the self promotion.  The publishers put a lot of time, money and love into these collections, and I'm very proud of the results.  I would like to see them out and about in the world as much as possible.

Both books of course would make perfect holiday gifts for yourself, friends, family, children, the elderly, complete strangers, pets and sworn enemies.

I thank you.

The good folk at Prick of the Spindle have seen fit to post a review of my latest book, The Hunger Season.  I found it to be pretty insightful and well written.

The Hunger Season is my first full length book of poetry since Words For Songs Never Written was published in 2007.  David from Sunnyoutside and myself put a lot of time and work into the collection, and I'm really happy with the results.

If you like my work, and/or are interested an supporting one of the best independent presses out there, please consider having a look.  I humbly thank you.

I'm having a release party/reading at Modern Times books here in San Francisco on Wednesday Sept. 9.  If you're in the area, come on out, I'd love to see you.  I'll be reading with Joie Cook and Chelsea Martin, both really amazing writers.

That's all.

Love,

Bill

Good and wonderful friends,

I have a new poem posted on the Poesy Magazine website
(Scroll down a bit, it's the second piece on the page.):

http://www.poesy.org/mags/38/poetry.html

 The poem appears in the hardcopy version of the magazine as well, which was guest edited by Debbie Kirk and is chock full of quality poesy and tributes to the late great Dave Church. Give it a look, it's good stuff..
