HERE'S MY NEW BOOK. MEET MY NEW BOOK.

Preorders (and more info, credits, blurbs, etc) are up. Please get one or a bunch of ‘em. I put a lot of heart and fierce love into this book. This is my statement on life in the times we’re living.

This is actually happening. Thank you forever, Ken Shipley of Numero.

New hats in the shop. People used to call these "dad hats" which is maybe not accurate anymore because this style is kind of the standard hat style now. Anyway, they look good. Embroidered, black, tight fitting. Get one. Look good.

The farm lost our good friend Phil the donkey.

We will miss your friendly heart.

Goodbye, sweet boy.

Now we need to find a companion for Andy the donkey who is pretty spooked and lonely.

Very sad day here.

Here's some "insider information" for you.

The cover photo for this book is from the iconic "Mayor of Photography" Becky DiGiglio aka one of the best people on the planet.

Text over the top is by the Black Moon Design, also one of Earth's finest.

(Page thru and look at those COLORS.)

Becky also did my cover photo from After Tonight, Everything Will Be Different, as beloved by trillions if not more.

I love Becky and her photography and am so happy to be doing another book with her.

Important note: Photos reposted from Becky's Instagram post, which happened, I don't know, like Friday or Saturday.

Preorder this book at the link in my bio.

This is my year: September 26th for the @thenumerogroup Run Hide Retreat Surrender vinyl edition. Oct 5th for the new book from @breadrosespress and @threeoneg. Book preorders at my shop.

The magazine is against readings accompanied by music, except in the case of Adam Gnade. The magazine believes revising the Beats is a dead end, unless you’re Adam Gnade.

Woke up to a ton of new followers thanks to the reel @thenumerogroup did yesterday. This is the part where you're like, "There are so many new followers here, I should reintroduce myself."

Some of the most powerful American writing was never in bookstores.

Adam Gnade has spent decades documenting what America actually sounds like — punk shows in basements, small towns at the edge of the map, drifting characters nobody else thought to follow. Through novels, recordings, and years on the road, he built a sprawling, deeply personal archive of the country’s forgotten margins.

runhideretreatsurrender, originally released in 2005, was the beginning of that work. Now, more than twenty years later, it returns as the first entry in Numero Group’s Literary Society — reborn, reassembled, and handcrafted by Ken Shipley. Part record, part book. Memory and movement.

The new book is DONE and sent off to @theblackmoondesign for layouts. Time to celebrate or do something stupid.
