NEW from Micol:

The Art and Craft of Poetry: Twenty Exercises toward Mastery.

This is a newly revised version of the course outline I used for my advanced poetry classes at Pepperdine University. The 188-page book combines discussions and assignments with models for each assignment--most of them student-written and selected as means of initiating inquiry into what creates strengths and weaknesses in poetry.

If you are interested in hearing more about The Art and Craft, please IM me or check it out at Amazon.com or Wildside Press .

Also:

* Naked to the Sun and Dark Transformations -- science-fiction, fantasy, and dark fantasy prose and poetry, are available through Amazon.com.

* All Calm, All Bright: Christmas Offerings, a holiday prose and verse, is available from Wildside Press (and Amazon.com).

* The House Beyond the Hill , a novel of fear, is available from Wildside Press (a nd Amazon.com).

* Piers Anthony and Scaring Us to Death: The Impact of Stephen King on Popular Culture , critical and scholarly studies, are available through Wildside Press or Amazon.com

Hi there I've been told you are a great poet and wanted to stop by and say hey. I am currently cramming for finals (well, I'm taking a short break right now) but in the next few days once I've gotten that done I'll be back to read your work.
