To Order Hardcopies:
This website is run solely for the purpose of gaining a wider readership for my poems and prose works and not for making financial profit from them. And although I make PDFs of my poems, novella, and essays available to all who visit the site (by simply clicking on the individual volumes), I reserve the right to remain in control of all hard copy dissemination of any of the volumes in which these appear, this in order to avoid the risk of compromising my copyright protection on any of these works. Therefore, readers interested in obtaining
hardcopy volumes of my Collected Poems (& Prose Works) are invited to contact me (see "Contact" page) or else Auntie's Bookstore in Spokane, WA.
The
10.24.18 edition of Collected Poems (& Prose Works) is a perfect-bound paperback measuring 6" x 9" (x 1 3/4" thick and weighing 2.5 lbs.) and printed on 24-lb. paper within a card-weight cover. The price being asked (both by me and by Auntie's) is $24.95 (as printed on the back cover), which is substantially less than the printing cost. Shipping, if through me, is free. In addition, a limited number of original copies are still available (through me only) of Epithalamium, the wedding poem found in Collected Poems & Prose Works (as well as in Love & Marriage Poems), here produced in a separate ribbon-bound color-illustrated calligraphy edition (as shown on both the Poems and Images pages). The price is $12.95 (from me), again, considerably less than the cost of printing, and shipped for free. (See images of the two books, below.)
