"Reading the poems of Betty Irene Priebe is like hearing voices from porches as you walk the neighborhood on a warm summer night - engaging, perceptive and sometimes even a little disconcerting, but always making you want to stop for more."

This is one of the crown jewels of Goldfish Press creations. This is a land I love as well as Washingtonton State where I grew up, where my love of labor went into the recording of one of its long-time resident's deeply moving and often cosmic reflections of a land of kettle moraines, arbor arches, translucent woods, clusters of lakes, and barns and cornfields, and of the people who settled it and of the place that produces America's best gingseng, which the Chinese calls the "human heart."
Betty Irene Priebe comes from a rich heritage. She sings of family, neighborhors, and neighborhood. She sings of cows and barns, tree stumps, lakes and minnows, land and water that recreates what is lost, the honesty of its inhabitants, and the neighborly warmth, as well as the local color and artistic yearning of the middle of America, where Whitman's verse pulsed here from East to West, and where the rich loam stopped the roamers. It is a place one calls home.

My regret is that I only printed 500 copies of this exquisite book and so there are only a few left that I am reluctantly to let go.

Just give me what I invested in it ($11 per book though the marked price is only $10) and $3.00 for postage and you shall own a truly remarkable book published by a world-class poet, yours truly, in all modesty.

Chrysanthemum chapbook Spring 2001

A very special issue containing a hilarious short-story by Jack Foley, poems by Bob Holman, Betty Priebe, Deborah Woodard, J. Glenn Evans, John Olson, Joyce Odam, Kevin Allen, Koon Woon, Marjorie Pepper, Paula Anderson, and Shirley Blanchard, among others. The cover is original artwork by Betty Priebe. This issue was formatted and typesetted by Koon Woon. Only a few copies left of a limited edition of 500 copies. As a special treat, the only published review of a literary magazine by Koon Woon is contained here as he reviewed the Special Edition - The Beat Issue - of the Hazmat Review, edited by Norm Davis. No one is safe from Koon's original iconoclast humor as he puts the ordinary-language philosopher John Wisdom, Ann Waldman, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, and his formative years in the logging town of Aberdeen all together in a brief 500-word essay as a "madman outside of our city gates" constantly redefining us of who we are. Don't miss it. There is method in all his madness!
