The Heart That Lies Outside the Body, winner of the 2007 Slapering Hol Press Chapbook Competition, was published in early 2008 as a hand-sewn limited-edition letterpress volume. Written mostly in the voices of record holders from the Guinness Book of World Records, the chapbook is an ode to human superlatives, ludicrous acts, and our common strangeness. It is available for purchase from the Slapering Hol Press website or from Amazon.com.
