Here’s a quick announcement. I just published Twitpoems, a collection of Twitter poems of 140 characters or less, at both Amazon and Smashwords. Available for the Kindle, the Nook, Apple’s iPad, Kobo, and other e-readers.
In 2009 I conducted an experiment whereby I published one poem a day for about 6 months. Twitpoems represents one month of that effort – 30 complete Twitter poems.
Please join me as I continue my journey into digital self-publishing. More to come.
E-books have gone mainstream and it didn’t really take long for it to happen. I’m amazed at the number of poets who don’t mind spending $200-$500 to have a book published in print that will only sell 50 copies, if that, and then not even consider publishing in an e-book format. They may get their…
Today only, you can get Twitter Poems for the Kindle for free. Act before midnight PSD. Twitter Poems is the genesis of the #twitpoem project, which I started in April 2009. These 30 poems were published one day at a time on Twitter during the month of April 2009. All are 140 characters or less….
If you like poetry books – and who doesn’t? – then you’ll love a new website that I’ve built called $1 Dollar Books. As you can guess, it’s a site devoted entirely to selling books for $1 each, plus shipping & handling. That includes poetry books and books in other genres. I have upwards of…
In 2009 I undertook an experiment publishing Twitter poems. I called them Twitpoems and created the #twitpoem hashtag for that purpose. The concept was real simple. Poems consisted of 140 characters or less. At the end of each virtual line I add a / to designated to readers that there would be a line break…
It’s been a little over two years since my last blog post. A lot has happened since then. The Kindle has become a preferred reading device for millions of people, Smashwords has become the leading distributor of independent e-books online, Barnes & Noble has introduced a competitive device to Amazon’s Kindle called Nook, Apple has…
I’ve been relatively quiet on this blog for the past six months. I won’t issue any apologies. Some of my most vocal critics may be jumping for joy. The reason I haven’t posted much in recent months is that I’ve been quite busy working on two projects, one of which is the publication of Rumsfeld’s…
I’m a little slow in announcing this, but my poem “Gunfight In Manhattan” has been published in the online journal My Favorite Bullet. The poem is a part of my upcoming collection Rumsfeld’s Sandbox and follows the publication of other poems in the collection. Those poems include: “Battlefield Confession” “Cigar” “Life” “Love And War” “Old…
If you’ve been wondering about the silence on this side of the Web, I guess now is the time to break it. I would like to say Happy New Year to my loyal readers and say that it’s been a great holiday for me – but I’m just as glad it’s over. I will soon…
Poets are getting more creative in how we promote ourselves. I’m glad to see it. I think this is going to be something we see more and more of in the future. Kate Greenstreet has moved us forward into the 21st century with this poetry video. I see these efforts only getting better: the giant…
