the other day out of the blue a person from my hometown (faraway) contacted me on myspace.
her & her friend both went and got their lil hands on my poetry book.
i had never heard of this person before.
she thanked me for inspiring her.
i was very thrilled, shocked, & humbled.
it was a very moving and exciting moment for both her and i in the trading of a few messages.
i am honored....as always.
it felt great.
she made my day as i was all smiles.
i just wanted to share this story with you fine & lovely people of the jamily.
I have been privileged to get to know Chad over the past couple weeks and also honored that he has shared his poetry with me. When I saw this thread about his book (which he didn't tell me about...ever humble man). I knew that I had to order the book.
The book arrived a few days ago and I have read several poems and continue to be amazed by his gift. Chad is a skilled poet who can write a poem that makes you reread it again ....immediately... and find the nuances you didn't get the first time. It is poetry that makes you *think*... and reflect. Quite lovely.

BIG ((HUGSS)) to Chad... truly a wonderful man... better believe it!
Ladies... Gents.... even you men who think you are too "manly" for poetry ... (football stats and fanstasy football planning do not count as "reading"...
pick up a book and pick up Chad's book for you will be enlightened and your eyes will open.
Friends, I must say you all are fantastic people.
So many of you have done everything you can to support my work.
To Lauren:
You are the words gifted, brilliance, class, integrity, beauty, and humor.
Many more wonderful words get their definition from you.
Words such as understanding & compassion hold your shadow firmly.
i'm really a nobody, KosmicJelli.
i'm just a simple dude, that's all, and that's it.
nothing more & nothing less.
but thank you kindly for the inspirational support.

Lauren, you kick major fuckin ass.
thank you....now, I am humbled... like you, Chad, I don't take compliments well! so... stop!
Before heading to school this passed Friday morning (the sun hadn't opened its eyes yet) I got myself a Caramel Silk Mocha.
It was free, (but not really) I traded my book for a cup of fancy coffee.
By all rights the barista owes me about 10 bucks or 2 more Mocha's.
But it's totally cool, they are great and I am honored.
Very honored actually.
Does any one know of a good publisher for my next poetry book?
I am not all that impressed with my current publisher.
I guess they are a stepping stone for me and that is great and I appreciate that.
I need some help finding a decent publisher so I am asking you people, maybe some of you know something I do not.
It has been about one and a half years since my first poetry book came out and since then I have written well over 1,000 poems, around 500 or more are book worthy.
I need some guidance and some help, please.
Anyone want a job organizing my piles of paperwork?
I am at a loss at where to begin.
Disaster I am.
edit: What I want to do is put all my poetry into a box and send it off for some very unfortunate person to put it all together for me.
I write the stuff but cannot manage the madness that is stacks of poetry.

What you need is someone to play Pound to your Eliot.
I'd be happy to oblige but I can't afford to donate my time to the reading and collecting of 1000+ poems Good luck though.

I believe you can buy it from amazon.com. Chad, correct me if I'm wrong?

And yes, you're correct in your info.
Thank you very much.
Now excuse me please, I must go and clean myself up.
