Barry McKinnon’s Gorse Press recently released
my chapbook The Linden Lea transitions, (February 2012), and I have a
couple of copies available, if anyone is interested. They’re $10 + $2 for
postage (in US, add $1; outside, add $5). Limited to an edition of 52 copies, I
don’t have that many available for sale, but am willing to part with a few, for
those who might be so inclined.
Part
of the unpublished manuscript “The underside of the line,” various pieces were
composed while in Ottawa’s Lindenlea neighbourhood, February, March and June,
2011, during a couple of house-sits for Stephen Brockwell. Other fragments were
composed: while visiting homestead, Glengarry, through separate visits in
February, March and April 2011, predominantly at the Dairy Queen (as well as in
two earlier businesses at the same location) in Alexandria, Ontario, where I’ve
been writing for nearly two decades; in Cobourg, Ontario, during the third annual
Poetry’z Own Weekend Poetry Festival, April 15-17, 2011; during a couple of
house-sits for Natasha Herman and Adrian Kruit, in May and June, 2011 (thanks
to them both); during a weekend spent in and around the Niagara Peninsula as a
participant in the Niagara Literary Arts Festival, June 2-5, 2011 (thanks to
Jordan Fry, Priscilla Brett, Monty Reid, Sarah Hill, Frances Reid and Gregory
Betts).
Fragments of the full manuscript have appeared
(so far) in print and/or online as an above/ground press broadside, and in BlazeVOX
(Buffalo NY), foam:e (Ireland), The South Townsville micro poetry
journal (Australia), The Veg Literary Magazine (McGill University,
Montreal QC), Upstart (http://upstart.ie/blog/?p=1275,

Mad Hatter’s Review blog (August, 2011), Paul Vermeersch’s They Will Take My Island and in the chapbooks Dear Robert Kroetsch, (Ottawa
