I wanted to wait until it was actually in my hands before I said anything, so am pleased this morning to announce that my book of poems "Hammertown" is out from New Star Books. It costs 16 dollars in Canada, 12 in the US, and it's ISBN is 1-55420-000-8. It will be launched at KSW in Vancouver on the 18th of October. I will also be reading from it at St Mark's in NYC on the 22nd (with George Stanley), SUNY Buffalo on the 24th (with Bernadette Mayer) and Aerial Edge Books in Washington, DC (with George again) on the 26th. Anyone reading this within range of those spots is cordially invited.
