Announcing: A new (well, almost new) David Barker chapbook from Golden Posterity Press:
YOU'LL GO BLAMELESS
Poems, 33 pages. Second edition (first published edition.) Limited to 50 numbered copies in wrappers and 10 signed lettered copies, hand-bound in boards (with a cloth spine) by Bill Roberts.
A very small number of hardcovers are still available, and I expect these will sell out quickly, so order now if you want one.
This book was first issued in a private photocopied edition that was mostly given to my friends. Because of the extremely small number of copies produced, that first edition was not listed as a "published" item in Bill Robert's David Barker: A Bibliography, and instead was listed in Appendix A -Unpublished Editions (page 43 of the biblio.) This new printing is an expansion of that first private edition, including all of the poems in the original, plus three new poems that were intended for the original edition but were cut for reasons I can't recall.
The book is designed, printed and bound by Bill Roberts of Dover, DE, and is published by Golden Posterity Press of Aberdeen, SD (the Midwest arm of my Rumba Train Press.) I am handling the sales as it is harvest season in South Dakota and the publisher has to bring in the corn.
The subtitle, "some of the last poems by David Barker," refers to the fact that I'd slowed down writing poems during the mid 1980s and thought this collection might be my last. That's also why it wasn't published in a larger edition and received no real distribution. Frankly, I thought I was washed up as a poet. Looking back, this seems to me one of my strongest collections, and I'm very proud to have it out now in this beautiful edition.
Hardcovers are $25 plus shipping. I have only four hardbound copies remaining. PM me to reserve one.
Paperbacks are $5 plus shipping. I have a good supply of paperback copies. After I've sold those out, additional paperbacks will be available from Bill Roberts. He has no hardcovers remaining for sale.
For shipping in the U.S. or Canada, add $1. Shipping elsewhere in the world, add $4. To order, send me a PM and I'll provide payment details. Thanks for your support.

Below is the slipcased "Author's Copy." The photo doesn't do it justice. It's not for sale; I just wanted you to see Bill's handiwork. There's also a slipcased binder's copy.
