New Poetry Collection Coming Soon from Gutter Snob Books
Later this year, probably late summer or early autumn, Gutter Snob Books is planning to release my next poetry collection, Proper Etiquette in the Slaughterhouse Line. It’s a chapbook focusing on work life and the office “grind” culture in modern America and how destructive it is, and as the poems go on the story evolves into a tale of our impending apocalyptic end as a human society and how even down to the very last minutes on the punch clock, the corporate machine churns on and spits us out like used cogs, replaced by bones and nuclear winter. So yeah, cheery uplifting stuff! But I’m thrilled editor Michele McDannold selected the collection for the Gutter Snob Books 2022 lineup, and I’ll post more details and the cover when it all comes together. Thanks very much, and stay tuned for even more publication news soon!
