The Tunafish Smith poetry book is now for sale...

To buy the Tunafish Smith book-book, go to The Fezziwig Press store, or locally, you can purchase signed copies at Tucson Touch Therapies. T3 also has all of my other books, and you can always buy my books at my studio (Believe it or not, I am there from time to time.) Or you can go to my Amazon page and they are there. And the ebooks will very soon be on Amazon's Kindle, iBooks and Barnes and Noble's Nook.

And I'll be having an art opening of The Ancients show at the Wee Gallery in Tucson on Saturday, December 6th, starting at 6 p.m. I will have this book and all my books for sale for the run of the show as well at the framed prints on the wall.

And don't forget, Balthazar and Zeeba: A Christmas Novella is for sale now too. Blah, blah, blah. Ho, ho, ho.

Thanks for your support, y'all. Love and light, Stu.

To The Desert...

To The Desert: Poem by Benjamin Alire Saenz, Mural by Terri Windling-Gayton, Photographs by Stu Jenks. Endicott West Kitchen, Tucson, Arizona.

I came to you one rainless August night.

You taught me how to live without the rain.

You are thirst and thirst is all I know.

You are sand, wind, sun, and burning sky,

The hottest blue. You blow a breeze and brand

Your breath into my mouth. You reach—then bend

Your force, to break, blow, burn, and make me new.

You wrap your name tight around my ribs

And keep me warm. I was born for you.

Above, below, by you, by you surrounded.

I wake to you at dawn. Never break your

Knot. Reach, rise, blow, Sálvame, mi dios,

Trágame, mi tierra. Salva, traga, Break me,

I am bread. I will be the water for your thirst.

...Then be not coy, but use your time...

To The Virgins, To Make Much Of Time by Robert Herrick: baptized 24 August 1591 – buried 15 October 1674: (the first and last stanzas/verses)

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
    Old time is still a-flying :
And this same flower that smiles to-day
    To-morrow will be dying...

..Then be not coy, but use your time,
    And while ye may go marry :
For having lost but once your prime
    You may for ever tarry.

Now available, on the Apple IPad: The Transpersonal Papers (1861-2010) and Bozo In Love

Been a long time coming for The Transpersonal Papers (1861-2010).

Three editors, two proofreaders, two designers, four printers, and hours, days, weeks, months, years, lifetimes, (I know I'm overstating), of writing, traveling, shooting, editing, remembering, hiking, and more writing, shooting, and editing, but I'm not complaining. No, no, no.

And apologies for not having the dough right now, to print The Transpersonal Papers as a coffee-table book as I had originally planned. ($10,000, it would have cost. Maybe someday.) But you now can buy it, for $14.95, as an Ebook on the Apple IPad, and I expect it to be available within a couple days on the Nook and the Kindle as well.

I just looked at it on my new IPad. The photos, text and design look grand.

And as an extra surprise, Bozo In Love is now up on IBooks too, ($9.95), as well as the rest of my catalog: Flame Spirals, Hoop Dancing, and Dementia Blues, on IBooks, Nook and Kindle.

Just in time for Christmas.

And don't worry. All but The Transpersonal Papers can still be bought as a book book through Fezziwig Press. I have plenty. Just go to www.fezziwigpressonline.com, for the hardbounds and paperbacks, but go to ITunes, today, (and Kindle and Nook, soon) for the ebooks.

Heavy sigh from my third story apartment balcony. I look out onto the Tucson city lights in the valley below. Cold, dry air embraces me. I inhale deeply. Exhale.

A very good night in the desert.

Think I'll make a cup of coffee with egg nog and play some Angry Birds on my new IPad.

Time to celebrate.
