Okay, it's been a while since I had a poll, and I've had this question going round in my brain, about maybe publishing a small book of my poetry in 2007 or so. I want to know how you folks feel about the idea, I'd like to try to gather 100 replies. Thanks!

Poll #424215 A book of Poe-Ms?
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All

Would you buy a book of poetry by Caitln R. Kiernan

Absolutely.

Absoltely not.
1 (0.8%)



Also, repeating eBay news, lest it gets lost in the shuffle (the dental bill is almost covered at this point): After this week, we're going to be taking a week or two (or three) away from the eBay auctions, but there are still a few cool things to get up today and tomorrow and cool stuff that hasn't yet sold. The next five people who use buy it now or grab something with the "fixed price" feature will get a FREE Kaiyodo prehistoric critter from my obscenely large and inconvenient collection of tiny prehistoric creature figurines. How can you possibly resist an offer like that? I'll even initial the little buggers, if you wish.

Dren. I mispelled "absolutely" that second time and can't edit it. I suck. Bad nixar!

But what if we just want the Kaiyodo figures? (I just thought I'd ask: I have a serious need for figures for a project upon which I'm working right now.)

I know there are various websites that offer Kaiyodo models by mail order. These I'm offering are the cute little guys...

Okay, now I'm wantin' that Kaiyodo Tyrannosaurus skeleton kit all over again.

I understand. I bought a case of the new Dinomania packs two months ago for a major project, and they're flat-out addictive. My wife and I spent a grand evening putting together Acrocanthosaurus skeletons and Copeopteryx models, and now I need to move to Stage 2 of that project before I can justify buying another case. (Trust me: nothing works better for relationship bonding than to compare notes over miniature resin dinosaur models.)

In 2007??? How about 2005? I am already impatient!

Sorry. 2007 would be the best I could do. There would be a lot of editing involved. I'm even pickier about my poems than my prose. But I appreciate your enthusiasm!

And, to clarify, I'd buy it whether it's in English or Nebari.

I think the publisher will insist on English. Damn humans.

Well, I thought I'd found two, but things have been slow and murky.

Should you need a third I would be happy to assist. I've been doing a lot of this sort of thing over the last few weeks so I'm in the weblemur geeky headpuddle. What is it, exactly, that you needed?

It would be even cooler if the poetry were actually set to music. Maybe something weird, amorphous, eldritch...a few hints of oldskool industrial and goth-rock here and there. Y'know. Something like that. *hint hint*

Hmmm. This I will think about...

Are any of your poems besides "Zelda Fitzgerald" currently available to be read?

Nope. That's the only one that I've ever published (excepting the bogus Yeats poem that's quoted in my short story, "The King of Birds" in From Weird and Distant Shores). I've never tried to have any others published.

Can I click the Absolutely box more than once, if I plan to buy multiple copies? The perfect gift...

Looks like the poll is closed, but yes, I'd buy one. Given your gift of language, I might be even more intrigued by this than your novels (and that's not shorting your novels at all).

Weird. Why would the poll be closed?

Okay. The poll is not closed. Spooky just voted to ckeck. You must have clicked wrong or something. Try again.
