Clay T<p>Well … I’ve been shopping this book around for a publisher for the better part of two years and I’ve failed miserably to place it anywhere despite much effort and even more grovelling. So … in the embarrassing tradition of obscure poets everywhere, I decided to publish it myself. I wouldn’t have bothered but there are some decent until now unpublished poems in the collection that deserve to see the light of day: even if that light is only a glimmer.</p><p>And the cover’s pretty neat.</p><p>Anyway, you can order a copy here: <a href="https://rb.gy/k9imvy" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">rb.gy/k9imvy</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>I know, right? Self-publishing a book of poetry … the next thing you’ll undoubtedly hear about me is that I’ve joined a cult. Or that I’ve founded one. Either way, it’s a logical career progression.
