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, essays, and fiction available (for reading only) 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 the latest edition (April 5, 2021) are invited to contact me (see "Contact" page) or Auntie's Bookstore in Spokane, WA. This current edition is available in two volumes: Collected Poems and Collected Prose. Both are perfect-bound paperbacks measuring 6" x 9" printed on 24-lb. paper within a card-weight cover. The former, with 460 pages, measures roughly 1 1/4" thick and weighs 1 lb., 9.8 oz; the latter, with 345 pages, measures roughly 3/4" thick and weighs 1 lb., 3.9 oz (with the two volumes combining to 2" thick and weighing a total of 2 lbs., 13.6 oz). Each are priced at $14.95. This is
substantially less than the cost of production, as my highest priority is reaching a wider readership. In addition, a limited number of original copies are still available (through me only) of Epithalamium, the wedding poem found in either volume, 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.
