I have been acting as an Agent for my brother, Brian Purdy, for about a year and a half now as he is elderly, ill, and unable to promote his own work in this way. I am very pleased to announce that in addition to several magazine publications, in early March a chapbook publication was secured for him. In 2024, Brief Joy in a Northern City, a collection of what Brian calls neo-haiku, will be published by David Zeiroth's Alfred Gustav Press in BC, Canada. Brian is happily looking forward to this first chapbook publication since 2016.
