In celebration of the 100th poem on GabrielGadfly.com, I'm launching a giveaway.

What You Can Win
I'll be giving away three books of poetry, handwritten and signed by myself, containing as many poems as I can fit into a single spiral-bound journal. Given the line count of most of my poems, that should mean each book will contain anywhere from 30 to 50 of my best poems.

These books are handwritten, imperfect, but raw: a gift from me to you as thanks for your support. Once you win, you may do with them as you please: frame it on your wall, read it until the pages fall out, or burn it.
