Disappears in the Rain, is now available.
Because it’s a very limited edition, you won’t find Disappears in the Rain at Amazon or B&N. But if you’re interested, you can get a copy from Matthew via the link on his blog: www.matthewthorburn.blogspot.com. (It’s $10 with free shipping.)
About the Chapbook:
Disappears in the Rain is a long poem weaving together many different impressions and experiences from a journey through Japan. It’s written in a loose version of the traditional renga form of linked verse, and has been beautifully produced as a limited edition chapbook by Parlor City Press.
Disappears in the Rain “touched me in its simplicity, its perfect naturalness, its lack of artifice, its unity of vision, in short, in its being absolutely genuine.” –Stanley H. Barkan, Founder and Editor, Cross-Cultural Communications
