I'm not sure whether this qualifies as a "poetry book" by me, since I'm not exactly the author (I just play one on the radio), but I recently published this book on Shakespeare's sonnets, and thought I'd share the news with the group.
I designed the cover myself...handicapped by a complete and utter lack of natural artistic ability. I am a passably mediocre amateur photographer, though, and have learned to photoshop images from some of my pictures, so I've had a bit of luck making book covers for myself. I've uploaded the photo to the website.
Writing this book was actually a lot more fun than I'd imagined when I began the project. I learned a great deal about Elizabethan England, even quite aside from Shakespeare. And it got me starting to write poetry again myself...which I'm starting to send off, now that I have a few that pass my own internal "wince" test (but more on that later...if and when I have anything positive to share with the group).
