So next week is AWP and I will be reppin' Rope-a-Dope press out of South Boston. Or "the liddle South," as me and Mary took to callin' it. We have two new chapbooks sneaking out, and although I'll write a little more in the next week, I'm really excited to get cover pics out. I think Mary and Bob did an amazing job!
First we have chapbook from Chris Tonelli, For People who Like Gravity and Other People (which I simply call Gravitron), which will be in his full length book The Trees Around (from Birds, LLC).

The colors are off on that picture, but it was taken with my spy camera disguised as a phone.
Also coming out is Kim Gek Lin Short's Run, which was our open submissions winner in our Golden Gloves contest. I like it, Mary likes it, Chris (who was ultimate judge) liked it. Given the power of peer pressure, you'll like it, too. I'm really psyched for this!

Again, taken with my super secret camera diguised as an mp3 player.
See you all in Denver, Rope-a-Dope will be at the Birds LLC table with Brave Men Press.
