The book is still over half a year away, so my wife Meg and I are making it our summer project to sell some mini-poster prints of poems that won’t be in the book—perfect for hanging on your wall, cubicle, etc. They’ll be silkscreened by hand by my good friend and super-talented painter/printmaker, Curtis Miller. We’ll be pulling prints in San Marcos next weekend, hoping to have them up for sale in a week or so.

THIS IS AMAZING. I love it. I’ve always prefered poetry to prose. For me its easier to write. I love this idea!!!!!!!
I just found your site and I can’t wait to dig deeper on your site.
Thanks, Dijea. I appreciate it!
I’m glad to have found you. Been reading your stuff for over a year now. Even tho you have been transplanted to Texas, one of my favorite Texans is Lyle Lovett. FYI, I’m an Illinoisan. Just saw LL on 7-15-09 in Effingham. That’s right, I’m not from Texas, but I know, Texas wants me anyway!
