Exiting news!
If you go to my Publications page, you’ll see a new book of poetry has been added to my list of publications. It’s None of Us Alone, featuring a cover photo of one of the thousands of ceramic hearts created as part of the Emerging Artist’s Connecting Hearts Project.
Unlike my previous books, this one is not self-published. It’s part of Ginninderra Press’s Picaro Poets series edited by Brenda Eldridge. It’s a thing of beauty, a chapbook, containing just 24 poems.
You can buy a copy for just $6 inclusive of postage and handling – just click the button:

Alternatively you can buy a copy direct from Ginninderra Press website, at this link (and you can browse the rest of the series while you’re there). Buyers from outside Australia can’t purchase from Ginninderra Press.
When the current lockdown is over, perhaps I’ll manage a launch event of some sort, and invite you all.
Since you can’t have a launch, would you like me to reblog this on mine?

Reblogged this on ANZ LitLovers LitBlog and commented:
Regular readers will know that Jonathan Shaw comments regularly here, and now he has released a new book of poetry, None of Us Alone, published by Ginninderra Press’s Picaro Poets series. Since the lockdown means he can’t have the usual launch, this is a virtual launch here at ANZ LitLovers!

Congratulations, Jonathan. But where on earth do you find the time – early morning meditational translations – during the day living the life/blogging – and is this work a kind of end-of-day creative time-slot? I’ll order a copy!

Done – on its way G Press tells me – crawling here within 14 days!

Thanks so much, Jim. This book, as you’ll see, is a selection from the last 10 year or so of versifying

Yay Jonathan! Lovely news! I’m hoping this is just the beginning of mainstream publishing success for you – not least because it will increase the value of my copies of your wonderful self-managed works!

Congratulations Jonathan …how nice to have Ginninderra Press publish you though I’ve never quite forgiven them for leaving Canberra.

Thanks, Sue. And also thanks for explaining why I was surprised that they’re in SA.

Glad to be of service Jonathan. They left here a long time ago, but they did originate here. I have ordered a copy too, btw.
