OVERBOARD: Resurrection!

Hooray! Huzzah!

Overboard is back in print thanks to Antonia Pinter & Patricia No at  Publication Studio Portland. Gorgeous cover art by Colter Jacobsen.

You can order a copy of your very own here.

And if you're planning to attend any of the readings on Alli Warren & my tour (see previous post below), I will have copies for sale.

Time to do a little celebratory jig!

 Here's a picture of Antonia (or Patricia?) doing a resurrection spell to revive "Overboard".

Here's an animated gif of "Overboard" mid-resurrection. 

Actually, it probably looked a lot more like this...

 In any case, she's back!

Should I say yer super smokin hot, boo?
cuz summer's nice n' all but yer hotter
fog rolls in to skuff up this bright sky's blue
SF summer's more like winter's daughter
You know how, M80's burst bright and fade?
like solar flares all huge and quickly gone
like haggard old queens gotta throw shade
good looks dry up like an unwatered lawn
But baby, you'll look good to me f'eva
like a dang Clooney, get better with age
and Death better not talk smack about you neva
When yer old and wise and smell a lot like sage

So long as cops are pigs and life ain't free
So I will cling to you and you to me
