Wonderful, NnB.

A great poem for “Final Frontier Day”.

Thank you.

Are your books poems or novels?

"Are your books poems or novels?"

I have a friend who is writing a whole book-length story as a poem.

I have the conceit that I could do the same, but I cannot imagine anyone having a reason to read it.

Accordingly, the books I'm working on are novels. It gives me the opportunity to develop characters, unusual situations, and outrageous ideas.

I haven't given up on producing books of poetry, but they would be collections of discrete poems. (Discreet as well. I save the non-discreet for the novels.)
