'Withdrawing in Disgust...' - volume 1 of my poetry will soon be going out of print for a while...maybe a whole year.
I have three copies left in stock which can be bought via http://lessthanfivehundred.bigcartel.com or from HiFest on December the 5th. There may also be random copies left at Whatever Comics, Canterbury, Creek Creative in Faversham and Housmans in London.
Beyond these copies it is my intention to let the book go out of print for a while. Firstly, I'm running out of table space at events and space in my suitcase to actually take them in the first place. Secondly, the plan is to eventually redesign Volume one and bring it in line with the other two books. When Lorna and Matt Morris and I conceived the first book, the visuals weren't integral to it and the photos we included were an afterthought as much as anything. As soon as I got involved with the distressed visuals in 'Peace..' I knew I would eventually have to go back and redo the first book.
And that's the plan, but with Foxhole Magazine and the final year of my BA, it will probably have to wait until the end of next year.
If anyone wants to do a bulk order of vol 1 (that's 10 or more copies ordered in one go), please drop me a line at callard_bowser@hotmail.com and I'll try and sort something out with a small special print run just for you.
If not, congratulations to anyone who owns a copy of vol 1 - you now have a limited edition book of (wait for it) less than 500 copies, and barring bulk orders or another opportunity to sell at a Banksy installation, there will be no more of that version.
Thanks for reading.
