Jefferson Carter's New Book

Jefferson Carter

dedicated minor poet
Not the right place to announce this? If so, I'm sorry.

Just out! My new poetry collection from Presa Press. Let me know if you want a lovingly-autographed copy.

Congratulations! Love the cover art/title.

Eliot, thanks! I'm still fighting with the publisher to enlarge the cover image in future printings. That small image just doesn't do justice to the power and intensity of the painting. Stay in touch and thanks for your kind words. XXOOO JC
 
When it becomes available I'd like to buy two copies. One for me, the other a Christmas gift.

Mike, you old sweetie! I can send you two copies now from my stash of author's copies. $ 10 (which includes postage) will get you one lovingly-autographed copy. Send cash (carefully hidden) or a check made out to me to 935 N. Olsen Ave., Tucson, 85719. I'm very interested in how you'll like the poems. I think most of them are still pretty good. Let me know when you're visiting Tucson. I'd love to hang out with you. XXOOO JC
 
Cool title and cover. Congratulations!

Daniel, thank you! Glad you like it. I was thinking of changing the title, but then I realized its suggestion of hippie values (peace, love, drugs and irresponsible sex) overshadowed by the values of President Pissgum and his GOP enablers was a kind of petri dish for the blues. I'm also battling with the publisher to enlarge the cover image in future pritinings. I think the image is too small to do justice to the painting's power and vividness. She's reluctant. Oh, well… Stay in touch. Yrs, JC

I quite enjoyed your "THE BIRCKENSTOCK BLUES" poem here on open arts forum so I may pick this up. Is it for sale? No hard feelings by the way.-Dan

Dan, no problema. Some of my best virtual friends are people I had a rocky start with!

The best (and cheapest) way to get the book is to order it from me. I have some author's copies for sale ($ 10, which includes postage). If you send cash (carefully concelaed) or a check made out to me to 935 N. Olsen Ave., Tucson, AZ, 85719, I'll whip you back an autographed copy.

I look forward to having a new poetry pal. Yrs, JC
