Poetry
Minstrel's Ramble: To Live and Die in Springfield, Illinois by Job Conger
sb 104 pages, autographed by author. This is my first book of poetry,
self-published in 1996 and reprinted, with old typos edited out and some fresh ones added
- new $8
Bear' sKin by Job Conger sb Those reading along may have
guessed by now that this is my third book of poetry, it's 104 pages long and it sells for
the same low-low price as my first two. It's a better book than Wit's End so
unless you have money to burn, I recommend you purchase this and Minstrel's Ramble. I'll
be happy to autograph this one, even inscribe it. $8
Vachel Lindsay: Strange Gold by Job Conger This book is about
my favorite poet: Vachel Lindsay who achieved international fame during the early part of

at a whopping 148 pages, includes a concise biography of the man, many of my favorite
Lindsay poems, and a list of other books by and about the "Prairie Troubadour."

The Furrbawl Poems - Uncollected Poems 1973 -- 1993 by
Steven R. Cope 174 pp softbound

told me what a dedicated and largely unheralded poet Mr. Cope is, I felt
honor-bound, and a poet of the same cloth (I thought) to purchase this book before reading
any of the poems. And now it is my hope that you will do the same. Not even a coffee stain
or a dog ear. I purchased the book for $16. You may have it for $10 and book rate
postage.
