A Soft Asylum: New Poems

by Justin Jacoby Smith

My first chapbook of poetry was called Theoretical BBQ, put out by my friends at the shoestring Small Child Press--it was a little collection that rushed its way out of me after a trying season.

Then, early in 2014 and spurred in part by all the dicussion about the creative process I had with Robin on The Definite Article, I got back to work. A Soft Asylum is the result. Some of the work in it has been published before, but the sequence you find here is--I hope--a satisfying whole.

For just $4 this button gets you a real, honest-to-god US Postal Service Mailed copy of A Soft Asylum. I may or may not kiss it with lipstick or sign it or almost whatever else you want me to do.

For just $2 meanwhile this button gets you a PDF of the book, and a bonus soundtrack mixtape as a thank you for your support.

Thank you, and thank you, and thank you. And thank you.
