[stylist] Table of Contents

Kasondra:

Oh, it's available from any major bookstore--Barnes and Noble, Borders, B.
Dalton, Waldenbooks, Powells.com, Amazon.com . . .  Maybe not found on the
shelves in all the stores, but any bookstore can get it for you.

Good news is that sales are pretty hot now, as it is climbing closer to the
top ten bestsellers in poetry.  Not over all, mind you, but in the poetry
category.

There were a lot more deaf poets, but I could not use all of them.  The
anthology just has the best.  But yes, there are many deaf poets.  There is
also an extraordinary number of deafblind poets, extraordinary because the
deafblind population is so small, yet there are almost as many of them as
deaf ones.  I can hardly wait for the translations to be done so I can
finish the deafblind anthology--this time, it's international in scope.

Feel free to put me in touch with anyone at Utah State, and I'be glad to
have exam or sample copies sent along with the media kit--press release,
brochure, and so on.

Thanks for your interest!

John

John,

I have come to this discussion late, but is this anthology available
anywhere?  I think there might be some people here on the campus of Utah
State University, who would be interested it it.  It sounds fascinating to
me.  I had no idea that there were so many deaf poets in America.  Thanks
for expanding my knowledge, and good luck with your endeavors.
