Color Poem #114

you will be moved
to wonder by the one
two three four five no
wait six or maybe actually
seven shades of green paperclips
you will find in the office paperclip bin

Amazon Reviews Please?

I am here to ask you a favor. If you've read and enjoyed How Time Is On Your Side, please consider writing an amazon review of the book. It doesn't have to be long, and you don't have to have purchased the book on amazon to do so. But positive reviews on that particular site do a lot to help books and authors get found by new readers in our algorithmic world. The book page is right here. Thank you.

Podcasts!

I had the great good fortune to be interviewed for two stellar podcasts: Raise Your Hand Say Yes and This Epic Life about How Time is on Your Side. You can listen to them, if you're interested, at those links just above, or on whatever podcast platform you personally frequent.

The Seven Dials Mystery

The project of putting book covers onto books and then drawing the covers of those books onto those book covers -- so that you end up with a readable book with a drawing for a cover -- continues.

The Whitney in the Fall of 2019

Hey! I just realized I went to the Whitney when I was in New York last fall and never did a post about it here. And I saw some cool things. So let's capture them!

Color Poem #113

when you take the jackets off all
those books you bought over the
years just because they were so
pretty but that you know you will
never actually read you can make
them into a
rainbow

The Book Party Report

The thing about a book party is that you're so busy reveling in its loveliness -- chatting away with seemingly endless stream of rad people who wander through the door, giggling over the beauty of being featured in a gorgeously color-coordinated merchandising statement, signing books with a sharpie, and so forth -- that you don't take any pictures. Rather you must rely on the kindness of shopkeepers and old friends, and grab their images with impunity, as you'll see I've done freely here. The party for How Time Is On Your Side at Rare Device on Friday was, as the above might suggest, a pure delight. Here are a few peeks (photo credits: Giselle Gyalzen, Deborah Willis, and Rebecca Dorman).
