Charles Bukowski said that, and I think he's dead right. Even so, I'm glad you dropped in for a visit. This is the place to find books, poems, and stories by me, James H Duncan. You can read samples in my "Words" section, view my "Books" to check out some reader comments, send me an email through my "Contact" page, and read current publishing updates in my "News" section below. Thanks for dropping in, and I'll see you down the road...

Bird War Press has just released my fourth collection of poems, "Maybe a Bird Will Sing," and the chapbook is now available at their website! Samples from the chap are in the "Words" section of this site, and you can read reviews, reader comments, and order the book in the "Books" section. I'm damn proud of this collection, and I feel it truly represents the best of my work written throughout my travels in 2008.

Recent and upcoming publications include poems in Zygote In My Coffee, Thick With Conviction, Up The Staircase, Glass: A Journal of Poetry, Motel 58, Full Of Crow, and The Toronto Quarterly Magazine. A few more poems are scheduled to publish this summer and fall. I'll post details when they do.

In other news, I have started an online literary magazine called Hobo Camp Review: poetry & prose from the road. I want to gather road stories, Beat-ish poetry, and transient tales all in one place, where dusty traveled writers can share their experiences, sit by the fire, and listen to the distant call of the passing trains in the night. Click the cover of the first issue (below and to the left) to visit the website. Issue Three (Fall 2009) will be up sometime this September. Check it out, and read the submission guidelines to submit your own work! We'd love to hear from you.

I have a great idea for a third novel, but I am still touching up my first two and sending them out to agents. Hopefully they will find a home soon. I'll keep you posted!

Also, if you have read any of my books and would like to submit a review or reader comment, feel free to email me at jhdwriting@hotmail.com. I'll gladly return the favor. Thanks!
