I'd like to buy a copy of your book Kilby. Is this link for US or UK? Xx

The link is for either, the publisher is EU based. But I’m going to text you!

What a perfect opening stanza and a beautiful, stark yet rooted poem. I am very much looking forward to reading more in your book, which I am sure will bless many.

What you have written here about your care and attention to detail in the construction and arrangement (and even number!) of these poems is all why your poems are so rich and rewarding to read, and read again. Congratulations on this opportunity to share your gifts with the wider world. I look forward to holding a hardcover copy in my hand this summer!

Hi Kilby, I came this way via Mark Rico. Congrats on what looks to be a promising collection.

On a practical note as a fellow poet who wants to see your work in the world, I did notice that the price listed for the book is 22.32 Euros or 26-ish American dollars. Is the book shipping from Europe?

I looked at the site for Prisca publishing and their shop link wanted me to log in first before pre-ordering. Just an FYI that might help streamline things if needed.

Again, congratulations!

Thanks Jody! Yes, the first print will come from Europe, as that’s where I and the publisher are based. Future prints, as mentioned, will be printed cheaper in the country of sale.
