Love, to you

[vaneramos]

I'm preparing to desktop publish a small chapbook of original poems. I did this once before, in 2000, around the time I participated in several local readings. A few copies sold. It was entitled The Water Lover: Selected Poems of Nature, and contained some of my favourites at the time.

The theme of this second booklet will be love poetry, and the title is still under consideration. It will include a few pieces posted on LiveJournal the past three years, older ones never published, and, if inspiration hopefully strikes in the next few days, new material. The purpose is to gear myself up for promoting my work more. If I start doing readings again, it would be handy to have something to sell.

I intend to set up payment by PayPal, and hope you will consider buying a copy. That way you can read original Van Waffle verses to your lover while sitting somewhere more romantic than in front of the computer. Or pour a hot bubble bath with candles and read them to yourself. Imagine me there with you, if that's what it takes. If I get my act together, this might be delivered in time for Valentine's Day.
