The Spoons That Are My Ears!

This rule doesn't apply to omnibus editions of my poetry. And the reason for this is because I invent the rules. The first of these omnibus volumes is ODD SOCKS, a collection of (what I think are) the best poems selected from my eighteen previously published poetry books and chapbooks.

600+ pages of verse, so it's a hefty volume, and to mark the occasion the ebook is a free download for the next five days, starting right now.

It's free from any Amazon outlet. This link is to Amazon US, but look on your own Amazon too.

Yes, the cover is a bit amateurish. This is because I'm not a designer and have become very reluctant to use AI art programs in recent months (I had no problem with them when I first discovered them). The feet in the photo are my own. One of the socks is mine (but who wears socks in India?). The other sock is my fiancée's. She pointed out that hers is inside-out.

The second omnibus volume will be a book containing all my poems, or nearly all of them, right from my earliest surviving poems circa 1976 to the last poem I will write this year. It will be called THE KOALA TEA OF MERSEY and will be 2000 pages long.
