Video of my friend and painter/printmaker extraordinaire Curtis Miller pulling screenprints of Newspaper Blackout Poems last weekend in San Marcos, Texas. (Tell him how awesome they are on twitter.)
The prints will be on sale soon!

HELP US PICK POEMS TO SCREENPRINT!
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.
We need your help picking which poems to offer! Please take a look at the following batch of poems, and give us your input in the form below… The people have spoken! See the results below…
How To Be A Texan
Tandem
Visual Thinking
Agoraphobia
Honesty
Overheard on the Titanic
Heartland Goodness and Romance
Harrigan Isn’t Afraid
The Final Results:
TREES
IN THE EVENT (OF A MURDER)
This one was a casualty of the final round of editing for the book. I went on a marathon session this weekend, cutting and adding, and I think I finally came up with a satisfying shape for the thing. Excited for y’all to see it. Should be a pre-order button one of these days…
