the last post mentioned a potential chapbook to come out very soon. well, it has been confirmed. 34 poems, titled [untitled] and will be released by Alternating Current anon. price to be determined.
the Pocket Protector mini-chapbook with them will be out later, December, and will be titled Nowhere, Utah. it'll sell for $3 and is available for pre-order at the above website.
i'll update when they get released.
also, leah angstman, the publisher behind Alternating Currents, has posted a poem titled on poet justin.barrett on her blog. it's flattering having another poet write a poem inspired by reading your work. thanks, leah. :)
NOTE: see the comments section of the August 10th post (Poetry Stuff) below for more information regarding ordering, the Pocket Protector mini-chapbook series, and other stuff by leah and Alternating Current!

just a quick note that it is probably the other way around. [untitled] will be out like the crack of a whip, price to be determined by page length; please know that justin will get royalties for the purchase of this book, so support him by purchasing it upon its release. nowhere, utah is on a subscription deadline, so that won't be out until december 1st, 2008. for more info on any of this, see the comment that i left on his blog post titled "poetry stuff" from 8/10/08.
thanks so much for the shout-out! it's much appreciated.

it's nice to be back and i hope the quality is better than what ya'll have come to expect. really, the quality couldn't be any worse, though, could it...ha!
leah, thanks for the update and clarifications...i've amended the original post with this info!
we ALL hope the quality is better ;)
well, it's not your fault; you live in Utah.
that is excuse enough...
Can't keep a good man down.
Man oh man...many congrats, j.b.--very excited to see some new projects coming down the pipe...for both you & Chris...lots of cool stuff to spend discretionary income on! Sign me up!
Congrats on the up and coming collections, I also thoroughly enjoyed leah angstman's poem about Justin and laughed at the accompanying comments. Nicely done.
By the way, those word verification entries seem to be getting longer don't they? Pretty soon we'll be typing whole paragraphs, you think?
thanks Hosho and Paula. i'm very excited about this collection, all uncollected poems, some very very very new! :)
Paula-
soon you'll have to type a full poem, then War & Peace. all just to foil those damn spammers from China. ridiculous!
