Former UCSC creative writing lecturer is a prizewinner in this year’s poetry contest sponsored by Finishing Line Press, which will publish his chapbook, World News, Local Weather. The release date is November 22 (in time for the holidays), and the price is $12, plus shipping.
As the title suggests, some of these poems step into public/political airspace, and others enter more intimate micro-climates. They share in common the impulse to bear witness to love in the presence of death. He heartily invites you to order one or more copies. The best time to do so is NOW—but definitely by September 27—for two reasons: (1) shipping is at a reduced rate of $2.49 per copy during this window, and (2) the number of “pre-orders” by this date determines the chapbook’s pressrun.
You can order copies in two ways:
1. online at www.finishinglinepress.com: Click on “PRE-ORDER FORTHCOMING TITLES,” then on “All Authors” (alphabetized), and finally on Charles Atkinson
2. provide the information detailed below and mail it with a check to:
