This video is making the rounds. It brought a little lift

to another rainy chilly day. Only a few days left to join

in my poetry giveaway. Come on, add your name, you

know you want to!

Poetry is the journal of a sea animal
living on land, wanting to fly in the air.

The Poetry Book Giveaway is happening here.

Send me your name and email -- you have

until April 30. Then on May 1 I will select

at random one name and mail you one

copy of the above books, postage paid!

And the winner will actually receive eight,

yes, EIGHT chapbooks for free. That's because

Toadlily Press features the Quartet Series,

four chaps under one roof. My chapbook,

The End of the Body, is part of The Fifth

Voice. Such a deal.

Poetry Book Giveaway

I've been hemming and hawing. What if no one is out there. What if no one signs up. I missed the deadline, proscrastinator. Then a note on Kelli Russell Agodon's blog that there's still room. A sign. I'm in! And thanks to Kelli for this great idea. Participating bloggers give away two books, their own and one other. The winner will receive my chapbook, The End of the Body, which is part of The Fifth Voice, published by Toadlily Press in its Quartet Series. The other is a favorite (also out from Toadlily Press), By Way Of. It features chaps by 4 poets: Diana Alvarez, Emily Carr, Matthew Nienow and Diana Woodcock.

Check out the Toadlily website for more info. To enter, leave a comment with your name on this post letting me know you're interested. You have until April 30. Then on May 1, I'll randomly select a name and ship the books (postage on me) to the winner. It's that easy.
