I've been asking a number of regular readers/contributors what they want from Gloom Cupboard - Whether they want to see reviews, a competition, changes to the Print Edition, interviews etc. etc. - I'd love to hear some comments from you buksters

This is the last time I shall plug my own collected scrawls. But as both publishers have embraced the 21st Century and are now accepting coins via paypal it seems only fear to say that my two most recent chapbooks are available to purchase before we get hit by the credit crunch.

If you want a second opinion, below is what some ITK's thought of the chapbooks.

I don't know if I ever publicly thanked you for
sending me the copies of GC, and on your dime
(sending them to me for the free and the fun of it).

And it really isn't necessary to stop promoting your
poetry and writing here. We all promote ourselves
here. I may not comment, and I have never had it
together enough to get anything in for you by your
deadlines, but I do read your posts, and click your
links.

So. There it is.

Appreciate your friends
I say what Father Luke says, You can keep promoting your writing mostly because you have been a gentleman about it. I thank you too.

I suppose technically speaking this is a plug

Three new poetry chapbooks from Kendra Steiner Editions of San Antonio, Texas:

"All Along The Wensum" by RICHARD WINK (KSE #104).


Richly-drawn, disquieting snapshots of life and death in and around Norwich, England from the author of APPLE ROAD and THE MAGNIFICENT GUFFAW and editor of GLOOM CUPBOARD. Richard's first chapbook for KSE.



"Garden of Rocks" by LUIS CUAUHTEMOC BERRIOZABAL (KSE #102).


The fourth KSE chapbook from this acclaimed Los Angeles-based poet.


A razor-sharp combination of melancholy and wit in these new lyric poems influenced by the French symbolist Paul Valery.


"Luis Cuauhtemoc Berriozabal is a brilliant lyric poet.

A great chapbook!!"
--Doug Draime

"Face To Face" by BILL SHUTE (KSE #101).


Volume 34 in the Sound Library Series, inspired by the soundtrack from the 1967 Italian western FACCIA A FACCIA (Face to Face). At a depressing stop on the Interstate north of Fort Worth and east of Denton, Texas, a semi-handicapped pizza cook and an Indian-American widow come together---somewhat.



Check the KSE blog for ordering info:

And don't forget our other recent releases:
A. J.

KAUFMANN, "Siva In Rags"
ADRIAN MANNING, "Wide Asleep, Fast Awake"
ALEATHIA DREHMER, "Thickets of Mayapple"
DOUG DRAIME, "Love & Blues in Oregon"
STUART CRUTCHFIELD, "Ozzified"

thanks, hooch. do you mean a Caprice Classic or a book? ;)

um, i still have to get them the rest of the poems and tie up some other loose ends, but i really have to say working with Alan Corkish has been awesome. He's very knowledgeable and patient and he has a great sense of humor or cough cough humour.

i will keep everyone updated as to when it's coming out as the process continues. but thanks again, hooch. i appreciate it.
