Signs of Life by John Ecko
A good friend I’ve met over the internet, John Ecko, recently released his first book of poetry, Signs of Life. I have read – or should I say seen – his clever and engaging poetry at the poetry discussion threads of Helium.
One day I hope to come up with a review of his work and post it here. For the meantime I invite you to get a glimpse of his amazing work at Eckovision.

Jim,
Thank you for that write up. I didn’t even know what a ‘trackback’ was until now 🙂 My apologies for not stopping by more often. As I’m finding out, this promotional thing is a busy beast consuming most of my free time. Again, thanks for all you have done to help me. Feel free to email me about those questions you wanted to ask. I’ll try to help in any way I can.

I wish I could do more for you. I am glad to hear you are now busy promoting it. If you can think of anything I can do to help, just give me a shout, bro.
