E-Books
The most recent e-books to be made available on this site are Rodney Nelson's Swede Poems, Ken Edwards' Chaconne and Geoffrey Squires' So. Access them from here. We will be adding further e-books to the site over the next few months.
A series of samplers are now available from this site, showcasing a large number of Shearsman authors. So far all titles published in the first half of 2007 have samples available, plus all 2006 titles and some from 2005. All Shearsman authors will eventually be covered where copyright permits.
