It's my great pleasure to announce the release of
Absolute Poetry, Vol. 1 This collection, from the poets of the Absolute Write Poetry Forum, contains a diverse and beautiful collection of original poems. I'm proud and humbled to be associated with these poets, and it's a joy to have such a marvelous collection of works to present to you. The paperback edition is available here for US$11.99Proceeds from sales will be contributed to Absolute Write, in order to help keep our forum and our site alive, healthy, and vibrant. The book is dedicated to one of our number - Writer???, aka Jeff. He was an AW Poetry stalwart, one of the prime movers behind this volume, and a fine man and friend. Sadly, he didn't live to see the work completed. I believe he'd have been delighted with it. I hope you will be too. |

Just bought my download. Thanks for the announcement! I'll probably buy the paperback version in a couple of weeks.
Looking forward to a great read!

![]() I placed my order on November 1. Five copies - overseas mailing charges. They shipped on November 4. A month later, no sign of the books. I ordered William Haskins' book on the same day. It shipped on November 3, and it arrived over two weeks ago. I ordered dobiwon's Walk With Purpose and the jst5150-driven AW Hollis Brown, Gunfighter anthology, on the 15th. They arrived a week ago. I want my dang Absolute Poetry.

Okay, so, 4 hours later, the AW poetry book, Haskins and my own book have arrived. Still no sign of the Cowboy ...

I'm concerned for Rob. He NEVER used this one before. Quick. Somebody take his blood pressure.
I read my copy...enjoyed every word. Well done, poets. Well done indeed.
