WE INTERRUPT THE REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAMMING

to announce that our new book POST BLING BLING (Moria, Chicago, 2005) has just been released. This book incorporates two projects that stem partly from the themes explored by this blog: a series of poems poeticizing advertisements in an issue of Vanity Fair and a long epistolary poem exploring the implications to the "Balikbayan Box".

The book can be downloaded for free, or purchased as a hard copy book. For more information, do go to the publisher's web site at http://moriapoetry.com/ebooks.html

Meanwhile, here's the lovely cover designed by William Allegrezza (thanks Bill!):

  • Hi, Eileen. Congrats on your new book -- I've used the occasion to write a little piece on the POD publishing model. It's more about publishing than about your book, but big congrats on your book!

  • Greg,
    Thanks so much. YOU GOT EXACTLY THE POINT I've been thinking about the possibilities of technology transcending the poem-as-commodity model. You just put it better. I'd been meaning to blog about this myself -- will do so soon at the Chatelaine Poetics. I'm glad you noted your write-up as it'll help illuminate indeed the implications of what Moria has done! Truly a fine -- and innovative -- achievement by Bill Allegrezza!

  • Apparently, some peeps had trouble yesterday downloading this file. Whatever bugs there were have since been fixed. So go ahead and download!
