Extended Profile
I am a published poet. :)
Blue Skies Poetry I have been published in Home and Away by House of Blue Skies an anthology of Alberta and Alberta-based writers that explore our complex relationship with working on, living with, exploiting and protecting our land and our home.
My own chapbook, Wheels on the Bus is available as well. You can see some comments on the book.
Wheels on the Bus
And I have another book available!

Laura Dennis, Poet
I am a member of RABCK.com. I journal all books that appear in my mailbox. :)
My other obsession would be my collection of business cards. I have over 53,000 individual cards.......I never say no to them. :)
I will send books anywhere. I would prefer to send hard covers only in North America, but for a good trade, I'll ship them anywhere!
I ignore all PMs rudely requesting free books.
I do expect books I send out in the mail to be journalled that they are received. I have spent money to get them to you, it is the least that can be done. I will do the same for you.

BOOKRINGS/RAYS I'M INVOLVED IN: Please note, if a ring/ray hasn't moved for 6 weeks or more, I take it off this list. I still check and put it back if it moves again. It helps me know how many are actually active.
