Book release!

An evaluation of life in 2024.

I am stoked to announce the first official DL;BR book release (well, technically the 2nd, if you count "The Novemberist Almanac" chapbook).

ALL OF THIS WILL BE FORGOTTEN is the first volume of selected essays from this blog, published in a handsome 6x9 booklet, available in 100 typewriter-editioned copies, as well as an audiobook and ebook.

When I launched DL;BR in 2024, I committed to writing a weekly blog as a way to evaluate the days, to shake the tree and tend the garden.

A Creative Act, as it were. To do the work, simply because it's there.

It's no coincidence that the photo on the front is of my late grandfather working in his field, a place he found solace, contentment, and a humble sense of pride.

His own creative act. To do the work, simply because it's there.

And this, an inheritance passed down through the ages.

ALL OF THIS WILL BE FORGOTTEN - 2024 will be available by the end of the week. Stay tuned for ordering information...
