  TOURMALINE by DOROTHEA LASKY
It's been a long time, kids. Too long. Yes indeedee, too long it has been since yrs truly brought you a new TRANSMISSION PRESS chappy. But you can now quench that deep burning desire for it, as I bring to you, my people, TOURMALINE by DOROTHEA LASKY.

Yes, my flock, a BRAND NEW chapbook by Dorothea Lasky is ready and available for ALL yr poetry needs. You say, "But Logan, will TOURMALINE save me from the fiery flames of Hell?" And I will answer, "Yes, ma'am!" If you ask, "Logan, will TOURMALINE absolve me of all my sins?" I will answer gladly, "Yes, sir!" And lastly you may even ask, you may just whisper, "Logan, does TOURMALINE prove that there is, in fact, a Heaven?" And I will look down on you from my great perch at the pulpit and say to yr rudy face filled with yr breathless words and oh-so desperate but necessary questions, and I will say, "Fear not! TOURMALINE IS PROOF THAT HEAVEN EXISTS!" And you shall be quenched! You shall find redemption!

And find it you shall by pressing the MAGIC BUTTON bestowed upon us by the Pay Pal over at the wondrous TRANSMISSION PRESS website. For further information on how you can save yourself from the Devil's fiery pitchfork, you best scoot on over there immediately. Go on-- SCOOT!

ADDENDUM

I seem to have everything now but an f'n scanner, so that image of the cover up there isn't exactly right. It's just a mockup I did real quick on PhotoShop. So, anyway, to whet yr wicked pallets, here's a photo of the book with the Pink Panther. And here it is with a Miller Lite. And once again, here it is with Brian "The Brain" Bannister. And, lastly, here's a bunch of them with a butternut squash.

Here's a great post by CAConrad about the book.

yeah this looks great! i want one... let's do some swapping mate. i have a new addy.... oh and are you doing NapoWrimo?
 
Am I doing NapoWrimo. No, Susana, I'm afraid I don't join cults. But I will send you a copy of this fine chappy. Get me yr new addy, post haste!
 
everytime i see "napowrimo" written down i get a synesthetically screeching voice saying it aloud in my head.

NaPOWRIMOE!!!!

the voice sounds like a cross between miss piggy and Zach De La Roca...ouch.

makes me sick.
 
I'm already getting emails this morning (Friday). Let's talk distro.
 
Clay, I'm glad to hear that. I could send some to Pegassus as I don't think I'll be making it out for any readings this weekend. Let me know.

Dottie is a phenom, so I'm guessing this chappy could sell out pretty quickly.
 
Bannister's gonna win at least 12 games this year. You can put that in the bank!
 
12 - 14, for sure.
 
oh and hey, cograts on the new transmission chap. i forgot to say that.
 
thanks, john.

You're going to read the word "fuck" a lot. And probably "holy shit" just as much. Other than that, you'll get disjointed thoughts on baseball and poetry, and also my favorite TV shows, apparently; oh, and news on TRANSMISSION PRESS publications and small town magazine, which you can purchase in the sidebar below. C'est la fuck it.
