Shameless Self-Promotion is Back

…was it ever gone? you ask.

Well, from this site it has been. Because I’ve totally fallen down on my job of kicking the shamelessness into action each Monday.

But no more. Fire away kids. Got a reading coming up? New series starting off in the fall? A workshop or class? A book or CD? Tell the blogosphere about it.

And don’t forget, be as shameless as you need to be.

    I’ll kick us off:
    This Saturday 8/11, I’ll be leading a free & open poetry workshop at the Big Blue Marble Bookstore in Mt. Airy from 1-3pm. Bring about 5-7 copies of a poem for an penetrating, yet pleasant, critique.

  • In the spirit of self-promotion and bubbling over with joy, I’ll share my news: Finishing Line Press will publish my chapbook, Inscapes, this fall or early 2008! They will be sending out charming,collectable postcard announcements when the book comes out so if you send me your address,you will get one! You won’t need to feel ashamed when your friends flaunt their postcards and ask if you’ve received yours yet! Send addresses to tree (at) treeriesener.com.

    I loves me some shameless self promotion, Autumn. With any luck, my new chapbook “14 Ways To Die” will be on its way this month. Also, my online journal, Chantarelle’s Notebook will have its print annual released this month. I guess that’s it for now…
