I am happy to announce that “Like Once I Dreamt” is exactly how I envisioned it to be. For those who have ordered autographed copies, I will spend the next few days getting your book mailed to you. You can also purchase a copy of the book from Lulu, and from most major bookstores as well.

I am thrilled at the prospect of finally getting this endeavor to poetry fans in general and my friends in particular. I chuckle at the thought of me sitting at my desk, Sharpie in hand, autographing copies. (I wonder if I should get a pipe and smoking jacket to complete the picture!) It has been a long time coming, and the growing anticipation feels like waiting for a birthday or a favorite holiday.

To say that I am excited at this new page in my life is an understatement. To put this collection together is a dream come true. This project hasn’t been undertaken by myself alone. Friends and family have put their collective “shoulder to the wheel” to bring this to fruition. I will always be indebted.

I was also fortunate to find a graphic artist, Jessica Burroughs, whose work graces my poetry. There is a link to her site on the left, “SiTe 4 Sore Eyes”. Feel free to sign her guestbook.

If you are interested in receiving an autographed book, write to me at Nihad.dweidary@gmail.com. The cost is $14.99 plus $4.05 priority postage (for U.S. orders only)

For those of you who know me, thank you for the encouragement and support during this roller coaster ride.

Love,

Nihad
