Here's the goodreads description to whet your appetite:
In the footsteps of Charles Bukowski comes Hosho McCreesh's magnum opus of drunk poetry. Mammoth in size and scope, A Deep & Gorgeous Thirst is unlike any of McCreesh's previous collections.
"A Deep & Gorgeous Thirst is for anyone who's ever had a drinking buddy—and who hasn't? A perfect elegy to the illusions and delusions of alcohol. A book to be tasted and savored.” —Mark SaFranko, author of Hating Olivia, and No Strings

ReplyDeleteAre you in the US and what's your preference, Joe - print or digital?
DeleteOh, sorry. US. Print. Used to be in NEPA, now I'm in Harrisburg.
DeleteI would love to have a copy of this book because I absolutely love poetry!! I would be excited to participate in the discussion. My email is brittcampbell1@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteBritt, Are you in the US and what's your preference, print or digital?
DeleteYes, I am in the US, and I would prefer print if possible.
DeleteWhile I have no great feelings one way or the other about Bukowski, this still sounds like an intriguing read. I just started The Luminaries, so why not follow that up with another ambitious offering. (I prefer a paper copy.)

DeleteYou haven't stated whether you are in the US or not, what format you prefer, or leave an email.
DeleteSorry. I'm in the US. I prefer a print copy. My mail is thomsirveaux@gmail.com.
DeleteThomisrveaux, since you initially commented before the close of the giveaway, the best I can do is an ebook. The print have all been spoken for by those who specified it before the giveaway ended. Email headed your way now!
DeleteI want to win a copy of A Deep and Gorgeous Thirst to donate as a bar copy to my favorite bar. I've read it once and look forward to reading it again and again. Looking forward to the discussion Feb 16-22 at TNBBC on Goodreads. Contact me at nann.laturner [at] gmail [dot] com.
ReplyDeleteNan, I need to know where you are located. US or international?
DeleteI know she's U.S.!

Looking forward to it!

I'm a huge fan of Hosho's work -- have been since his poetry collection "For All These Wretched, Beautiful, Insignificant Things...." and his one-off story "Something That's True." And ADP puts out great books (Ryan Bradley does beautiful covers). So I've been eager to get into this one for a while and just haven't found the funds for it yet (so many books, so few dollars). I'd love to participate in the discussion on Goodreads -- it'd be cool to chat with Hosho.
