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), a perfect-bound paperback of 700 pages 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, priced at $24.95, are invited to contact me (see "Contact" page). For my more recent and compact Collected Poems (i.e., without the prose), a 450-page paperback of the same size format but only 1" thick and 1.75 lbs., for $16.95, contact me or else Auntie's Bookstore in Spokane, WA. Both volumes are
priced at 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 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. (See images of two of the books below.)
