The book is out of print now, as it was published as a special project created when I organized a 3-year traveling exhibition of my art work. The original book <i>is Concerti: Psalms for the Pilgrimage</i> – was published as a limited edition – and I wanted to expand it and that’s what I’ve done. It will come out in 2021 – over twice the size of the original and with additional photos, journal entries and back stories – The new book will have a new title, but don’t know what that will be yet.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>This year I’ve completed my second chapbook . this one has a Spring theme – and I do have a publisher who wants to do it – I’ll decide after the holidays on that. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The chapbook is <i>Primavera </i>– and will be the second in my series of 4 chapbooks. Each one features a specific season. The first one came out this year from Finishing Line Press. That first one is _<i>first snow</i>_ and is 30 wintry-themed poems. I do have a potential publisher who has offered me a contract for Primavera, and I’ll decide after the holidays. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> Wishing you all blessings during this Week of JOY – the third week of Advent.
