Two Weeks, A Digital Anthology of Contemporary Poetry, featuring poems and recordings. My poem "What the Body Knows" is included, along with
Donald Illich's recording of my poem (lovely--and no poet voice!) and my reading of Rose Hunter's "Vulcanology". If you don't have a Kindle, you can read the book using one of
Amazon's Kindle apps for the PC, Mac, iPad, or iPhone. It was a completely novel experience for me to submit poems, get a speedy response, and then to see my work in print in two weeks. Nice work, fellas! Other poesy publishers, please take note!
