For anyone who may be interested, I launched my second collection of poetry 'The Sky Road', in Dublin two days ago. I was very pleased to finally hold the book in my hands, because (whatever about the content, which I hope lives up to it), it really is well-designed, very solid and lovely to look at. Not to bang my own drum, but the cover photo is one of my own.

The book is up on the net now, on the Salmon website (where it may be purchased) HERE

I wrote about the launch (as Skyroad) on my online photoblog

Congratulations, Mark. How can we in the States get a copy? Direct order? Amazon?

[Marcia Karp]

Bravo.

For what it's worth, Salmon is a well-established and respected poetry publisher in these parts. No clue what their international distribution is like. Do you know what Dublin bookstores the collection can be found in, Mark?

Good on you, Mark!

Thanks David, Marcia, Catherine, Janet, Quincy and Duncan.

David, the best way to get a copy might be simply to buy from the Salmon website; the link is in my first post. But I have sent an email to Jessie Lendennie, the publisher, asking about their American seller/distributor. I think it's Dufour, but I'm not sure. I'll get back to you on this.

Quincy, I just delivered some books to Dublin bookstores for Jessie. She has a distributor, but Salmon is based in Clare, so this seemed a way to speed things up. 'Books Upstairs' on College Green accepted a generous quantity; I think Salmon have a long-established relationship with them. I also left some in with Hodges Figgis on Dawson Street (though they may not be on the shelves there yet).

Mark, as I wrote you, I wished I could have come to launch it with you! I agree it looks gorgeous. I'll get a copy and you can sign it when I next make it to Dublin.

Congrats.

Ah, both places a hop, skip, and jump from work! Good to know.
