I'm delighted to announce the publication by Clock & Rose Press of Wiley Clements' first book of poetry, Yesterday, or Long Ago.


This is also our first venture into publishing poetry; we have specialized in reprints of rare books and original editions of scholarly work up to this point.

Wiley's book is a handsome, hardbound volume with line illustrations by Jeanette Sloan Campbell and dust jacket photographs taken by the author himself. I am responsible for the editing, book design, and typography. We couldn't be more pleased with the result.

Many of the poems will be familiar to Wiley's fellow 'spherians, and the book includes a section of poems written in collaboration with our own Jim Hayes. The book is available in two editions; a hardcover trade edition, and a hardcover limited edition that is signed by the author and comes in a protective slip cover. The book is listed with Amazon, and may also be ordered directly from us by emailing renee@clockandrose.com ; this is our preferred form of distribution, as we don't have to give the middleman a cut.

Congratulations, Wiley! All your hard work has finally come to fruition!

Congratulations! Very nice.

Question: Do people with poetry books out get to quit their day jobs and stay home and collect royalties? http://www.ablemuse.com/erato/ubbhtml/smile.gif

This is a big deal for Wiley and for Clock and Rose. My congratulations to the poet and the press.

Congratulations! Way to go!

The cover looks beautiful!

This is wonderful news on more than one front -- a beautiful book of beautiful poetry. Congratulations to everyone involved.

Many congratulations to all.
I'm looking forward to receiving my copy.
Best wishes,
David

Warmest congratulations. Terrific team.

I will ask my local library to order it. That would broaden the poetry section.

Robert, can you post the relevant information? ISBN number etc.

I am over-flattered and under-qualified to be a part of this wonderful venture but notwithstanding, I am highly delighted to be associated with such a fine poet.

Congratulations Wiley, Robert and all others connected.

Jim

Thank you all very much for these generous remarks. I only hope the book's content, or some of it, rises to meet your expectations.

The look of it is lovely, Mr. Clements. Congratulations!
