Ho is a talented young Auckland poet whose work is at the cusp of performance / google poetry. See more details here:
tinfishpress.com/books.html
Pre-publication price is $10 plus handling. The cost goes up to $13
when the books arrive in our offices in Hawai`i. This book is for anyone interested in poetry in the Pacific, in performance, in oral & literary modes, and in good design. Our designer is Allison Hanabusa. (Her aunty is one of our congressional reps . . . )
4. Upper Rubber Boot Books (owned and operated by wom-po member Joanne Merriam) is publishing Apocalypse Now: Poems and Prose from the End of Days, an anthology of work from some our finest apocalyptic writers, both literary and speculative. It contains fiction by Margaret Atwood, Joyce Carol Oates, Kelly Link, E. Lily Yu and others, and poetry by Judy Jordan, Catherine Pierce, Jenna Bazzell, Kristin Bock, Maggie Smith, Nicky Beer, Simone Muench and more.
We are currently running a Kickstarter campaign to allow us to print a softcover version in addition to the ebook. People who pre-order through the Kickstarter campaign can get a discounted copy of the ebook ($8 instead of $10) or the softcover print version ($16) which is only available through this campaign.
