Water Works poetry chapbook published by Recycled Karma Press
My latest (and I think best) chapbook, Water Works, has just been published by Recycled Karma Press of Waterford, Michigan. It features 25 poems on more than 30 pages (soy ink on 100% recycled paper), gorgeously handbound by editor Heather Ann Schmidt using silver cord and Japanese Chiyogami. I'm very pleased. While they last, you can procure a signed copy by sending $10 to John Burroughs, 420 Cleveland Street, Elyria, Ohio 44035. Or order via PayPal.
I am grateful for your love and support!

I would love to just give them away to friends, as is often my custom. But because I desperately need to pay our electric bill and buy ink to honor my Crisis Chronicles Press publishing commitments, I can't do that this time. However, if you order Water Works by the end of the first week in February, I will gladly send you a free copy of my Low Kay Shun broadside (recently published by NightBallet Press) as well.
I am grateful for your love and support!

If I send you a few dollars ($ 5) can you send me one of your broadsides? I've not had the pleasure of even seeing one. thank you... I already purchased a copy of Waterworks at the reading when you got them.
And congratulations... a beautiful publication lovingly made by a friend and fellow colleague John. I've yet to read it. Hopefully tonight after dealing with submission e-mails.
Wishing you all the best and also best wishes to the editor Heather Schmidt of Recycled Karma Press. A beautiful job on her first publication.
