New Book Coming and Blog Recognition

New Book Coming!

Finishing Line Press has agreed to publish Nothing Remembers, a collection of poetry by Michael Dickel (editor / publisher of this blogZine). Coming in Summer 2019…

Thank you Leah Maines and Christen Kincaid from FLP!

You can read a selection of three poems from Nothing Remembers in The BeZine 4:3 (Dec 15, 2017).

You can hear the title poem, Nothing Remembers, on YouTube (from a reading in 2013).

Other poems from the collection appeared first on Meta/ Phor(e) /Play (in some cases, edited for the collection—links go to original version):


If you would like to be on a mailing list for an announcement / reminder about the new collection of poems when it is available for order (sometime in 2019), please send your postal and/ or email contact information via:

Meta/ Phor(e) /Play Contact Form

I will only use the contact information for announcements about this book and will delete it six months after the launch date for the book or at your request anytime before.
