A collection of poems by my friend and interpreter Lena Ruth Stefanović "Devil: an unauthorized biography" goes to press tomorrow. It includes several poems and prose pieces 're-sung' into English by myself (working from cribs provided by Lena). It is illustrated with the trump cards of the Vaudeville Tarot by Francisco J. Campos, and a trumps only set of the cards will also be printed to accompany the book. The book and deck are financed by the Ministry of Culture of Montenegro, and are being published by OKF, Cetinje, Montenegro.

Steve,

Congratulations to your friend, and to yourself, also. As excuses go for not posting as many poems recently, this is about as good as it gets. Please let me know when and where this can be ordered.

Best,

Ed

Steve,

This sounds very cool indeed! Next time I'm in Montenegro, I'll look for it!

Congrats to you, and to Lena!

Thanks,

Bill

Thanks everybody, it has been an exciting and crazy time: I was unexpectedly asked to write a forward too with just a couple of hours before the files had to go off to the press, much worse the wear from a dinner party the night before. Initially, it will only be available locally, if any remainders become available I will let you know - I expect any remainders will quickly get snapped up by playing/tarot card collectors for the set of cards the book comes with alone. It is a non-commercial project, any profits will be going to charity.
