BIG CRAPPY & REAL

Here it is, a new chapbook called BIG CRAPPY & REAL. The poems originally started bleeping out when an editor told me I lean on too many "simple words" like "big crappy & real," as I was wrapping up my MFA. They kept running on mojo created from the ticking clock of living in the big city of Austin, TX, revving down to get back to country life in Elwood, IN. In many ways, you see, these are transitional poems.

Here's a free PDF of it. I'm not doing any official run of print copies, but like I told my buddy Brendan, if you ask nice enough, I'll stable together some one-of-a-kind, handmade deal, just for you or you or you. Otherwise, feel free to share widely, print wildly, & read loudly.
