Conviction (2006)
24pp. Fold-and-staple chapbook.
Conviction is an essay written in 2005. I wrote it to better understand why my goals are what they are and how I’ve processed my life up to that point, but people who read it seemed to think that it’s relevant as more than just self-indulgence so I put it into print.

Sometimes You Gotta Fight The Bear (2006)
100pp. Trade paperback.
The first release on Shotgun Honey Press, which I started with my wife in 2006. This was my first full-length collection of poetry, containing all of the poems I was still proud of by the time 2006 rolled around.

Quiddity (2002)

Quiddity is a novel told in journal entries. It’s mostly autobiographical. I wrote it when I was living in San Antonio before I moved to Austin.

Welcome to the Terrordome (1999)
60pp. Fold-and-staple chapbook.
I haven’t got a copy anymore so if you know anyone who does send them my way. It was an anthology of short-short fiction pieces, journal entries, bad poetry, and artwork. Pretty much everything I had written at the time. It’s uneven, quality-wise, but it went into several printings and sold about three hundred copies.

Drawing Flies: Complete Journal Entries From January 1999 - June 2000 (2000)
60pp. Fold-and-staple chapbook.
It was just my journal for a year and a half. I was biting Henry Rollins pretty hard back then but some people liked it. I don’t remember how many sold. Not as many as Welcome to the Terrordome.

Drowning Man (2000)
32pp. Fold-and-staple chapbook.
Poetry and a few essays. Most of it’s stuff I don’t have much affinity for anymore but one of the pieces ended up on the Eric Clapton record and one of them was re-written intoQuiddity. Introduction by J Whiddon, who never ended up publishing the chapbooks he mentioned in the introduction.

Exile On 10th St (2001)
28pp. Fold-and-staple chapbook.
My first book of nothing but poetry. I wrote it all in an IHOP on 10th St. in McAllen TX. Hence the title. About half of it is pretty decent. Marc Hardcore from the Malcontent Party wrote the introduction but the first printing was done in a rush and I didn’t get to include it until the online edition.

Good Time (2002)
16pp. Giveaway pamphlet.
This was just a 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" booklet with eight poems named for the songs on the Led Zeppelin IV album. The back cover was an ad for Quiddity.

Song (introduction) (2002)
80pp. Trade paperback.
Song is RA Lopez’s epic poem about South Texas and love and cigarettes. He asked me to do the introduction and of course I jumped at the chance.

Slaves and Bulldozers is a collection of all of the poetry worth not-throwing-away in 2003.

The Poplife Chapbook (2003)
40pp. Fold-and-staple chapbook.
A collection of ten personal essays. I put it out in early 2003 for one printing and pulled it out of print after that sold through because about half of it ended up being re-written into the novel Poplife.

Howling (2004)
16pp. Giveaway pamphlet.
Another 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" booklet. "Howling" is a poem I wrote in November 2003. I put out the pamphlet to promote the dansolomon.com website.
