Detail a Day: The Collection

Last year, I undertook what I thought was a simple writing exercise: notice one thing every day. Instead, my task became a study of attention, presence and precision, syllable counting and storytelling. I learned more from the Detail a Day project than I expected, and was surprised by people's interest. Family and friends, some of whom I didn't even know read this blog, would ask when we were hanging out, "Is this going to be today's detail?"

Well, now a selection of the details are collected in print in as they fall, a Lilliput Broadside. A few of the  details are also featured in Lilliput Review #184.

Lilliput Review, who publishes the Broadsides, is a giant among litmags, collecting the tiniest of poems. If you haven't immersed yourself in its micromoments of surprise enlightenment, exquisite strangeness, and beauty, take a deep breath and prepare to bliss: http://lilliputreview.blogspot.com/

Want a copy of as they fall for your own hot little palms? $2 to mail, $1 if you can find me in the flesh. Comment or contact, and I'll pick one fresh of the tree for you. Happy Spring!
