Writing Workshop with Logan Phillips
Logan Phillips, bilingual slam poet, is in town to perform with Verbobala (see NHCC listing below). These days Logan finds himself on both sides of the border - writing, performing, teaching and changing lives! He will be doing a two-hour workshop at Chroma Downtown. This is an amazing opportunity - so make your reservations now. First 10 students under 21 are FREE. Fee $10 or two cans of food. Chroma has opened up the walls in their performance space and can now fit in almost twice as many bodies.
Workshop Tuesday, June 30, 6:30-8:30pm
Chroma Art Center
First and Roma NW, Downtown
(505) 554-3805

Ok, this is it! After a couple years of poetry, a few months of preparations and a few weeks of pulling things together, my new book Arroyo Ink is now for sale online!

I’m excited about this one, I think this is the best work I’ve put into print so far. It’s the fifth in the series of chapbooks that I have released since 2002, and like the rest of them, this is a hand-crafted, independently-produced piece of work. It also has strange illustrations in it drawn by myself and Adam Cooper-Terán. The illustrations are all based on remixed letterforms and will keep your eyes oh-so entertained.

I’m selling the books for $10, plus a couple bux for shipping. All purchases are handled by PayPal, which is a secure online payment company owned by eBay. 100% secure, not to worry. I know times are lean for everybody, but if you are able to plop down some virtual dollars, I’d love to put a book in the mail to you. I appreciate it.

The US book release performance was a couple weeks back in Bisbee, AZ, and it was more than I could have hoped for. Video art showcase, introduction by Adam Cooper-Terán, an hour-long performance of new poems and a reception featuring a showing of the fine art prints from the book. For all those who couldn’t be there, here’s the goods! Hopefully I’ll be touring a lot in the coming year, but until then:

Now available:

•Arroyo Ink book
•Illustrated postcards
•Fine art prints (limited editions!)
