Friends,

I can’t believe Echolalia in Script was released a year ago this month. Thanks to everyone who supported the campaign and to those who purchased the collection.

I am also very thankful to people who have invited me to present this practice through various workshops, exhibits, presentations and readings.

A big thanks to my publisher, Luke Hankins of Orison Books and to Michael Wiegers, Sandra Alcosser, David St. John, Valerie Laken and Lawrence Wheeler for sharing their kind thoughts to help promote the book.

A special thank you to Mary-Kim Arnold in writing a thoughtful, in-depth essay/review of Echolalia in Script and its sister book Saying Your Name Three Times Underwater in current issue of The Georgia Review , to Letter Arts Review for a feature in the next issue and to David Nilsen for an upcoming interview in the Gulf Coast Journal.

Visual art and poetry truly goes hand-in-hand.

Onwards!

Yours,
Sam Roxas-Chua

I think it’s the smell of death for abandoned things. Here’s the song it sang:
