Noemi Press
I’ve found a publisher for “In This Alone Impulse.” I woke up this morning to a lovely note from Noemi editor Evan Lavender-Smith (great name), saying that he’d like to include ITAI among the first four full-length works his until-next-year chapbook press would publish. I’m ecstatic. I mean: I’m ecstatic!
The book will come out at the end of ‘09, but I’m sure I’ll have updates regarding the process of getting to that point, including editing, book format and cover design, etc.
I’d have never guessed that my first published book would be poetry. Or rather, prose poetry. Or micro-fiction. Or whatever.
Here’s a link to Noemi Press. They put very handsome books out into the world, each of them compelling, challenging and energizing.
Hip hip!

Not incidentally, I would like to thank Brian Evenson for all his help and encouragement.

Hey! Shya - that’s great! My computer is currently doing this thing where it seems to eat my words as I type them. It’s weird. I’m at work, so I shouldn’t be checking your blog, but I am. We miss you and Erin and Violet (duh) and hope you’re all well. We JUST found a place to live, so it’s been a bit hectic, as you can imagine. Too long for a comment. Most importantly: congratulations. You are a poet.
