Default My Mother's Legs Are Weeping, a chapbook

I have twenty copies of My Mother’s Legs Are Weeping, my new chapbook from DYAD Press. The book is available now on their website, but if you would like a signed copy please contact me through a private message or email. They sell for $10, plus shipping. The first part of the eight part poem appeared previously in The New Criterion, but this is the entire sequence.

Today is actually the fourth anniversary of my mother’s death (she died on the summer solstice in 2013) so it is powerfully symbolic for me that this announcement go out today. I consider the poem one of my best pieces of work, and the book design itself (for which I did the cover art) is austerely beautiful.



I am so grateful to Jesse & Hannah of DYAD Press for its existence.

Hey,

There was a glitch with the PayPal link for My Mother's Leg's are Weeping, which has now been fixed. I think I've touched base with all those affected, but if you've had an issue feel free to e-mail me personally @ regnaessej@gmail.com — and just to be safe here's a link with a working PayPal button!

Huzzah!

J
