Looks like a great holiday gift. Kiik's a wonderful writer.
since I work in the music industry, when I launched @pizamapress.bsky.social I knew I wanted to release 'deluxe' editions with b-sides & rarities

To celebrate the 6 month anniversary of our first book, it's now available as a digital deluxe download, complete with 20 new poems & illustrations

I finished @djvorreyer.bsky.social's Unrivered this morning in this nice spot in So. Pennsylvania. An amazing book that captures so much of the beauty and loss of aging.

The 10th sonnet, pictured here, also happens to capture the current state of my attempts at continuing to play basketball.
