Book Announcement
13 December 2024 08:30 amOf the three anthologies I’ve published, largely for my own pleasure, the one I return to most is Story Lines. For many years, I reread and occasionally refined Important Beyond All This, but to my surprise I’ve only occasionally touched it since putting Story Lines together. Even the deep tides of First League Out haven’t pulled me as much.
Correlate to that, I’ve spent more than a few idle cycles pondering narrative poems I’ve come across since, wondering whether it’s worth the bother of including them in a revision. Most of the time, the answer has been no, but I kept returning to two—and found myself wanting them in a convenient location. So—hwæt!
There’s now* a third edition of Story Lines, adding “Sir Orfeo,” an anonymous 14th century Breton lay (in Jesse Weston’s translation), and at the other end of the anthology, “The Horse Thief” by William Rose Benét (older brother of the more famous Stephen Vincent). If you already purchased this before, it should have been updated automatically, or so I’m told—but if you haven’t, here’s more to entice you.
Available from all the usual purveyors of fine ebook products: Kobo | Kindle | Smashwords | and so on
(As usual, reviews are appreciated—review copies can be arranged. So are oops/gotcha reports.)
* As of, ahem, several months ago. It’s been a long year. I was hoping to announce a print edition at the same time, but the process of getting a thick slab squared away has been oft interrupted.
