Brushfires by David C. Kopaska-Merkel

This news crossed my desk today, courtesy of David C. Kopaska-Merkel. Brushfires cover art by rhfay: http://www.genremall.com/poetryr.htm#brushfires

My book of science fiction, fantasy, and horror poetry, which encapsulates
the best of what I've done for the last couple of decades, as well as a lot
of never before seen new stuff from the last couple of years, is at the
printer now. "Brushfires" will be published by Sam's Dot, just in time for
the holiday season. A great gift for all the dark poets in your life.

"Brushfires" is a corporate buzzword from a couple of decades ago. It refers
to things that some people think are urgent and important and that other
people think are pointless and irrelevant. When you're hassled by life's
manufactured urgencies, or even real emergencies, read some poetry and drink
a glass of wine. The book, "brushfires," may be just the ticket for stress
relief. Writing the poems certainly did that for me and I hope reading
them will do the same for you.

Signed copies will be available at the same price as nonsigned. Look for
details in a few weeks when the book is in my hands.
