JIMMYLORUNNING

Welcome. This is my website. Here you will find info on my writing and various other artistic experiments.

A REDUCTION

is a handmade chapbook published by Little Red Leaves Press: Textile Series. This limited edition book is lovingly sewn from recycled bedsheets and shower curtains. Accompanying the prose poem are nine color photographs printed on transparent ‘slides’. It’s available right now for only $8. Order online now.

THE SEA IS WHITE

is a slim volume of poetry, a little over 60 pages. A few poems from it have appeared in magazines, like this one in 42Opus, two in Jubilat, this one in Little Red Leaves, and two in The Grove Review. Additionally, one of the poems will now be part of a permanent art installation called Passage. An audio recording of my poem will play when a person sits in an ‘acoustic chair’ that is located outside of the South Mountain Community Library in South Phoenix. The book itself is yet to be published, but has been finalist three times (Colorado Prize, Slope Editions, National Poetry Series 2010); if you are a publisher and would like to consider it, OR if you just want to read it for kicks, please let me know via e-mail: jimmylorunning AT gmail DOT com. Make sure the subject is: “The Sea Is White”, so I won’t delete it thinking it’s spam.
