promo – “into the mirror: a literary collection”
Because I don’t have enough going on in my life these days, I managed to get some of my work published in a literary anthology that was released for sale yesterday.
A friend from my youth who published a wonderful first novel earlier this year (for which I was privileged to serve as a beta reader) has launched her own small press, Wild Ink Publishing, with the mission to support “aspiring authors get their words out to the world.”
It’s first publication, Into The Mirror: A Literary Collection, has been described as an anthology of “personal reflections.” It’s full of essays and poetry from a whole host of authors exploring their personal passions, challenges, and questions in both prose and poetry.
For my part, I’ve got several poems in the collection, largely adapted from song ideas I’ve had over the past few years, some previously recorded, some not, all of them exploring personal thoughts and ideas including grief, ambition, frustration, regret, and exploration of what life is like in middle age. If you’re familiar with my musical work, you’ll find a lot of it familiar, but I think it works in slightly different ways in this new context.
So there it is; in it’s first day out into the world, it appears to be doing pretty well (top 10/100 in poetry anthologies and essays on Amazon as I write this), though I know the publisher and all of my fellow contributors would appreciate you taking a look and maybe posting a review.
Yeah. I did a thing. Hope folks appreciate it.
[…] week, apart from that thing I mentioned yesterday, has been pretty bog-standard. It’s been colder around here, so it’s been a little more […]
