Orphans, it seems the time has come. The first pressing of The Rough Chronicles of Bipolar Romance is:
SOLD | OUT
The limited-edition, vellum covered chapbook featured every one of my previous publications, plus a few exclusive works and a psychosocial history outline (blacked out government document style) from my personal collection – all wrapped together with laser guided precision. From “He’s A Drummer By Trade” to “Voyeur” this was the coveted first edition, hand bound in house by Gossip [&] the Devil Inc. Though any artist would love to admit they just knew it was going to happen, the reality is most of us sit there and hope it’ll happen.
Acclaim for Julie M. Tate [&]
The Rough Chronicles of Bipolar Romance:
“It’s very sexual…it’s amazing. I loved it…[she's] my favorite underground poet.” – Mat Devine, vocalist, Kill Hannah
“The Rough Chronicles of Bi-Polar Romance should not be a limited edition. It should be dispensed far and wide for the reading world to quietly taste…” – W. B. Burkholder, editor, Troubadour 21
“There are writers who speak to the minds of us and then there are those few who speak to the souls and hearts of us. They talk to our guts…They make us shiver and shake with their words and they make us know them a bit deeper than we had ever imagined we would.” – Tairrie B. Murphy, vocalist, My Ruin
“An absolutely fantastic writer.” – Eric Victorino, vocalist, Strata/The Limousines
“I love [her] website.”- wiL Francis, vocalist, Aiden/William Control
“If you submit this [poem] to any other format…it’s going to get rejected. This poem will be rejected by most other poetry formats but it’ll make you famous…I actually had it in an envelope to reject it, but I couldn’t do it, it’s too good.” – Larry Ziman, editor, The Great American Poetry Show
“I’m scared you’re going to fuck your talent off, which would be a shame because you’re just too good.” – Ai, winner of the 1999 National Book Award for Poetry
“‘This is Your Capitan Speaking’…read like [a] short story. I didn’t want the poem to end.” – Danielle Dreger-Babbitt, Seattle Books Examiner
None of this – NONE OF THIS – would be possible without you, Orphans, fans, supporters, gawkers, voyeurs, perverts, addicts and DIY-ers. You KNOW who you are. You’re the dreamers, schemers, the take-a-chancers, the middle fingers in the face of your roadblocks and naysayers. YOU.
It’s 2011 and shit is about to start happening.
Get ready for the 5th Season. More soon.
Cheers!
