Scifaiku going digital

Inverted Folk

I published this tiny collection of scifaiku in 2012 as a trifold brochure. It's all my own work (except a photo [Sheila Kopaska-Merkel] and the brochure design [F. J. Bergmann]), and many of the poems appeared nowhere else. It includes a photomicrograph, taken by me, of weird and alien creatures. If you want a pdf, it's free for the asking: jopnquog at gmail.com.

Four years ago I published a trifold leaflet containing 18 very short horror poems called Inverted Folk. The printed copies are long gone, but I will send a PDF to anyone who wants one. Some of the poems were reprinted from various places; others were original. The impetus for creating was a trip to a botanical garden Finland. It contains a statue which, clearly, represents a minion of that cosmic horror sleeping beneath the Pacific, Cthulhu (photo on the cover of the leaflet). Well, something had to be done to alert the world!

Inverted Folk

Anyone who received a PDF copy of my short science fiction and fantasy poetry brochure "Inverted Folk" may have noticed some formatting oddities. At least, if you tried to print it out. Now, Fibitz Reality Adjustment has kindly fixed the formatting and made everything prettier as well. The PDF is still free. Just let me know.

I have assembled a three-fold pamphlet of my favorites of my own scifaiku from the list year or two. It might be of some slight interest, and is available for $2 or comes free with a subscription or subscription extension to DN.
