What if instead of spending millions on all these books by terrible political figures, publishing just went ALL IN on poetry.

I'm getting bored with the music beds I've been using on ATC and I'd like to shake things up.

What new instrumental #music should I use? I prefer something repetitive without loud drumming, but will try anything.

Dartmouth has done a nice promo of my novel The Rationing. No, I did not predict the pandemic--but I did write about that possibility in 2019 because lots of smart people were warning about it. https://t.co/RulZGhpTnG

[Kyle Potvin @KPSplash]

@NHBookCenter Thank you for sharing "When the Irises Don't Come." Grateful to @SWWIMmiami for publishing it! It's going to be in my debut collection, "Loosen," coming from @HobblebushBooks in Sept. 2020.

The Last Confession of Autumn Casterly takes place in my hometown so I could just play myself aka a random Concord person at the local coffee shop 😎
