BRAVE NEW PUBLISHING FOR A MULTI-MEDIA WORLD
Poetry broadsides, chapbooks,
and other free electronic poetry offerings....
This is the fun part. We have created electronic versions of some of our favorite individual poems, and small poetry collections. Traditionally, finely printed individual poems have been called broadsides; and very small mini-books of poetry have been called chapbooks. Our electronic broadsides and chapbooks are PDF files that you can download and enjoy on your computer screen or iPad.
Each of the "cover" images below and to the left is a link to download that ePoem, eBroadside or eChapbook. On many browsers, the easiest way to download these files is to "right-click" on one of these image-links and then select the "Download Linked File" option.
Enjoy!
Mushroom Cloud Redeye, A Rant, is a wonderful, long, multi-part poem by Colorado's Western-Slope performance poet, Art Goodtimes. Overflowing with the crazy energy of what we look back on now as the nuclear age. A tour de force!
Four Noble Truths, Almost Buddhist Poems is a collection of eight, free-form, fourteen-line poems that try to explore the meaning of the Buddha's advice on how to get our act together and stop feeling so lousy: the Four Noble Truths. Illustrated with photos of a Tibetan Stupa or Chorten, high in the Colorado Rockies.
Tibet is a nine part poem, an eChapbook, inspired by Lito Tejada-Flores' travels in Ladakh, sometimes known as little Tibet. Illustrated with black-and-white images by Linde Waidhofer of the Ladakhi version of traditional Tibetan culture.
