I’ve ordered my copy and can’t wait to get it. This is a splendid idea. Brava Beth for hatching it.

Hey, we should’ve asked Joe to write a blurb! Thanks for passing that anecdote on — I am very honored by both of your regard for these poems.

Bravo! When I met Joe in London a year ago, he said,’now those poems about tools of Dave Bonta’s, if I were a publisher I’d snap them up…’, so more than one great mind was thinking alike.

I love the cover photo too.

Awesome, thanks. Yeah, the six-hour account termination did really make me appreciate the wisdom of also generating physical artifacts like books (and maybe someday DVDs or CDs).

Glad to see Via Negative back online. Now I can add my congratulations to the list. I can’t wait to read it. My check is the mail as well.

Oh, cool — I’d forgotten that.

A prophet with a checkbook might be the one kind of prophet not completely lacking in honor in her own country — at least in the land of the almighty dollar.

This is what I wrote in comments on the Tool Odes April 29, 2008. “When does the book come out? I need to save up”

Seemingly, I am a prophetess, and I have had time to save up.:)

Congratulations, Dave. Yay!! Check’s in the mail. (or will be when I find my checkbook.)
