MERITAGE PRESS

Been helping out recently on the next two books to be realized by Meritage Press -- really honored that I'll be helping the full-length book-debuts of Tom Beckett and Bruna Mori. As with many other publishers, the list of Meritage Press' projects go on the last page of the books--and I can see that I'm much ahead of the one-project-a-year I'd planned when I began Meritage Press. One of these books is out-of-print, and another one soon will be, too! Well, Happy Fifth Anniversary to MP, moi teensy leetle press but with a beeeeeeg heart!

And, yep, I already have three, possibly four, books scheduled for 2007 -- so much poetry, so little time!
