Devon, PA. My first book, a limited edition imperfect-bound volume of poems titled Four Verse Letters has just appeared from the Franciscan University at Steubenville Press. I shall excerpt from it in the near future on FPR, but I wanted to make those few interested parties who may be out there aware that the chapbook is now available for sale.
The print run was a wee 300, with only 115 available for sale. 150 will be used as textbooks in a course at Steubenville, 15 were destroyed by the publisher due to production errors, and I am keeping 20 for myself and to give to family and friends. So, when I say “limited,” I really mean it.
Copies of the book are $10 plus $1.40 postage and can be ordered by writing to fourverseletters[at]gmail.com

Congratulations JMW. I reviewed a Fran. Univ. at Steubenville Press book written by a Franciscan professor, Regis Martin, on Flannery O’Connor. Great book, great press, and congrats again!
Congratulations!
James is a liar. He kept 19 copies for family and friends and gave one to me. I read it the next day, straight through, in circumstances hostile to poetry (planes and airports), and found it very alluring, its voice deeply engaging. I think you can actually see a maturing of idiom the deeper you go into these fine verse epistles. This is the work of a poet. Congratulations, James (and thanks for the freebie).
We can only assume it will be the first of many. Congrats!
Heartiest congrats, James. (But why’dya give that cheap bastard Peters a comp copy?) I look forward to sitting on my porch in the clement April with a Saranac in one hand, your verses in the other, and birdsong in my ears.
James,
Congratulations. I look forward to reading it.
Jeff
Hey congratulations on getting your book published! I hope to read the excerpt real soon. Are you going to do another post about it?
All the best,
Gen
