Perhaps another week ...

Until now, the idea of publishing a book containing my poems was merely a whisper of a thought; a limp and sullen thing that languished in the deepest closet of my mind.  But now, I have a printer's "proof" of my new book, and Echoes, like a new babe, has at last been born!  Or so it felt to actually hold it in my hands the other day.

Now, Echoes and I find ourselves on the very cusp of a whole new experience as well.  We are to debut at the Clockwork Alchemy Convention in late May; I as poet and Echoes as an item available for purchase.  While at this convention I'll be on a panel titled Classical Victorian Poetry Today: The Awakening of Steampunk.

Now, we owned no title for the Steampunk genre that I so enjoyed from the sixties onward, but at every opportunity I latched onto it.  From the Jules Verne-inspired films,  to the Back to the Future trilogy, and Brisco County Jr ... there is quite an extensive list of Steampunk's influence on me.

I mention this because, as it turns out, my poems are in a sub-set  of Steampunk, and  I can, to some degree, consider myself a Steampunk poet.  This did not even occur to me until very recently, but soon I will be on a panel discussing this very issue.  These strange eddies that I now find myself swerling in are, at once, daunting and curious.

Fair to say, Echoes, Neo-victorian Poetry should become available as soon as I address a few tweaks in the "proof."  I'm hoping to see this book finally available online in about a week, give or take.


All I's dotted, and fingers crossed.
