This is from the book, and one of the poems The New Yorker ran on their blog.
Well, we’re almost there. After almost two years, Newspaper Blackout is out tomorrow. I woke up early this morning, feeling like a kid on Christmas Eve.
A few folks have told me that Amazon has shipped their books, although there’s still one day left to pre-order and enter the screenprint giveaway.
I’m excited. Book release party at Bookpeople here in Austin tomorrow night at 7PM!

This is day 14 out of 14 that I’m posting a poem a day until the book comes out on April 13th. Check back daily or subscribe via RSS for new poems.
You can help the release by entering the contest to win a free limited-edition screen print or pre-ordering your copy today.
I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve, too — and it’s not even my book! Amazon shipped my copy yesterday. Can’t wait to hold it in my hands. :)
