Charles Bukowski said that, and I think he's right. But still, I'm glad you've dropped in for a visit. This is the place to find books and poems by me, James H Duncan. Feel free to read samples in my "Words" section, view my "Books" to check out some reader comments, and be sure to keep drop by now and again for publication updates in my "News" section below!

My newest collection of poems and short stories, Ballast, is now available. Click the "Books" link to the left to find out more about this collection.

In other news, after a little time off, I am back to working on my second novel. I'm starting from page one and reading through, editing as I go, so I can get back into the flow and drive it home. It will be darker than my first novel, with a Mickey Spillane noir edge mixed with a little Ray Bradbury and Orwellian adventure. I should have more updates on that later this spring.

Want to read a review of my first collection of poems? If so, all you have to do is click

Also, if you've read either of my books and would like to submit a review or reader comment, feel free to email me at jhdwriting@hotmail.com. Thanks!
