Skidding Through the Mud Incognito

[vodka]

It's out, thanks to the kind people of erbacce-press and Gloom Cupboard.

here

I hope it's not really bad form to plug it here. If so mods, you know I'll bend over quietly.

Thanks to Jocelyne (Black Swan) Desforges for the cover art and for being a friend to me.

And thank you to Father Luke for doing the back cover blurb and also for being a friend to me.

Thanks in advance to anyone who buys it and to the people of Bukowski.net for tolerating me.

Love,
Jen

[Bukfan]

Congrats, Vodka! Well done! :)

 

[Gerard K H Love]

Good job vodka, that's the first poem of yours I've seen.

 

[vodka]

[Gerard K H Love]

The first one I've come across. Is there a poem of yours in here?

 

[hank solo]

And of course ms. vodka is also appearing here.

 

[Gerard K H Love]

Thank you hank, I found another one.

 

[vodka]

well hank solo, i would have never known you would have even known.

and gerard, you could have asked for poems you know. i would have sent them to you.

 

[LickTheStar]

Congratulations! There's nothing like seeing your work in print.

I'll bet.

 

[Ponder]

Congrats, Jenifer!

How did it feel to hold your own poetry book in your hands for the very first time.
Still high?

Will read your poetry book in Montreal next month.
See? You're going international.

 

[vodka]

[LickTheStar]

Some call me... James. In fact, every one does. Unless they want a sock on the jaw! Wham bam, thank you ma'am!

Er...

I'm on the SW side, right on the edge of Tigard and Beaverton.

 

[vodka]

whoa.

i'm on the SW side.

right outside of Multnomah Village.

 

[LickTheStar]

Yeah I'm right between Multnomah Village and Washington Square (and I work at the Square Barnes and Noble too).

 

[Gerard K H Love]

whoa. i'm on the SW side. right outside of Multnomah Village.

See this is exactly why Father Luke needs a laptop...makin' dates while your ol' man is on the road....I can't believe my eyes.

 

[vodka]

huh. i wonder if you would recognize me if i came in there. but i wouldn't recognize you. you would have the advantage.

Gerard, sometimes I like to sing this to Father Luke:


I'm a good girl.

 

[LickTheStar]

I'm terrible with names, even worse with faces, and basically, all white people look the same to me.

There, I said it.

Of course, I feel the same about most races of people. Everyone looks the same in retail because basically everyone is an ass. (ha ha)

 

[Gerard K H Love]

After 30 years, I'd say they all look different, except Chinese. People do go through some changes when they are spending money, that's for sure.

Now I need to cough up the dough to buy the book this thread is really about.;)

 

[vodka]

James, don't call me white - don't caaallllll me white.

Gerard, I didn't know you would by it.



My copies came yesterday. I opened them up and looked at one threw it back in the box sealed the box stuffed it in a desk drawer felt ill and now i'm actually looking through one. adjusting slowly.

Erbacce did a very nice job. I would recommend them fo sho.

Maybe i'd better put these away now.

Having a chap book is weird.

Is that me? I wrote those?

huh.

 

[Black Swan]

Congrats to you Ms. Vodka,
it is saturday night
and I am about to read Jenifer Wills.
You made it happened girl!

 

[Purple Stickpin]

My checkout to paypal is in GBPounds. How can I order this? Should I just proceed to paypal and it will convert to USdollars? Is there a US source that wouldn't require UK shipping to the US?

 

[Gerard K H Love]

Erbacce did a very nice job. I would recommend them fo sho. Maybe i'd better put these away now. Having a chap book is weird.
Is that me? I wrote those?
huh.

vodka; This is your first book? We will be customers of and witnesses of your first book? Your poetry is quite strong with some passion...and sass.
Good job on that.:)

 

[vodka]

Swan, thank you very much for all your help and support.

Purple Stickpin, I'm sorry I don't know your name yet - erbacce is in GB, so you can order them in Pounds no problem. Thanks for the interest, by the way.

And Gerard. Sass, yes. and yes, it's my first.

Thanks guys,
Jen

 

[Black Swan]

I really enjoyed Jen's chapbook.

Many ones I liked,
maybe some got straight to my heart,
"I Would'nt Have It Any Other Way",
I could just crisp picture.

Grammar please?...

 

[Gerard K H Love]

"I Would'nt Have It Any Other Way", is very intense. I was taken for the same ride. It lets you know our dear vodka, doesn't it? Of course it's all fiction.
I will get the book by mail in the next week or so, but I was sent a preview- a very nice preview. Thank you.

 

[hoochmonkey9]

got mine today. on initial skimming it looks good. I'll give it a better read tonight.

love the cover.
