The Thread is out today!
My new book The Thread is out today!
Believe me, I look forward to reclaiming this weekly newsletter for sharing new writing starting very soon. But for today I want to mark this moment by thanking you for reading over the past several years. I invite you to join me in one of these ways:
If you’re in KC, drop by the book release party at Haw Contemporary this evening between 6:30 and 8:00 p.m.! You can purchase a book, have a drink with me, and see some great art currently on display. More details below.
Help me spread the word by posting on social media — and please tag me! (FB: @andrewjohnsonkc // IG: @andrew.johnson.kc)
Also, a quick note on this book and it’s connection to the weekly letter:
I love keeping this newsletter subscription free. I made the choice last year to avoid the subscription/patron model, and instead I poured my energy into creating a book. As of March, I am a full-time writer and artist without a regular paycheck, so selling books helps me pay the bills. I plan to keep the weekly Thread emails free to all, and so your purchase supports me to continue the work.
And thank you always for your notes, for your responses to essays or poems that resonated with you, and for staying connected. Y’all are the best.
Peace and grace,
Andrew
