Dave Seter's Chapbook Coming Early 2010

Perigee author Dave Seter's first collection of poetry—a chapbook entitled Night Duty—will be released by Main Street Rag Publishing Company in early 2010. Seter's poem "Billboard," which is part of the chapbook, appeared in Perigee's 22nd issue (October 2008).

The title poem, Night Duty, was inspired by the author's first job out of college. As a field engineer with Public Service Electric and Gas Company, he was assigned to cover gas fires and explosions after hours, in the urban centers of Newark, Patterson, and Jersey City.

Sonoma County poet Maya Khosla says, "Night Duty is full of precise dissections of nights and days rendered with rhythm, punctuated by bolts, grit, rattling and, more often than not, humble questions left floating in the air."

Night Duty will be released in March, but is currently available for pre-order at a substantial discount through the publisher's web site by clicking here. Additional information can also be found at Seter's web site, www.daveseter.com.
