My follow-up poetry collection to IJNGAR, MY HEAD HAS A BELLYACHE, is out JULY 18th!!

Masterfully and delightfully illustrated by Andrea Tsurumi.

I’m wildly proud of how this book has turned out. And the reviews so far (!!!)...

@JThomasABC @AndreaTsurumi Thank you, Jennifer! (I picked a good day to peek at this site again.) I'm super-proud of this book--both the crackpot and crackerjack parts--and love how @AndreaTsurumi brought it to ridiculous life! I hope folks enjoy it...

Last week I got to give away hundreds of copies of a certain ridiculous book through the Bookstormer Foundation, an awesome charity providing much-needed books to kids in lower-income areas. Read more--and consider donating--through the link below:

Tomorrow!

Unless you're reading this tomorrow, in which case: Today!

[Chris Harris @justchrisharris]

@AttieLime @milla_reed @TheEmergChick @TwoHootsBooks Feel better! Argh, I hope it’s no one from that book who got you sick. Several Tobys were not looking well last time I checked in.

A handy guide for poets and language lovers! May need further explanation of kennings and neologisms, though.
