Thought of the day: I really like my own poetry. Not all of it all of the time, but a pretty good proportion of what I've written in the past continues to resonate. I wondered if this just made me really self-centered, but then figured that if I didn't like the stuff, then I'd really be in trouble. I'm writing mostly for my sake, anyway. That, and as an excuse to do handmade chapbooks.
Speaking of which, I'm thinking of expanding my production beyond my own work. "Hermosa Neutron" has really been the ultimate vanity press -- only publishing me. But I think I'd like to do books for others, too. Tiny runs of 20 or so. I really like the process of making the physical object of the book -- making sure every element -- font, paper, cover -- complements the poems inside.
