A Certain Door – Sound the Horn, Collect the Tears

A Genuinely Unique Opportunity.

I alone have personally designed, pressed and published this chapbook, the second in a series of more forthcoming. Only 100 hand-signed copies have been produced for this PREMIER LIMITED EDITION CHAPBOOK and distributed exclusively through Opal Egg Productions, LLC.

Chapbook Intro (as seen on the inside cover):

This must-read chapbook is the second in a series of many more chapbooks to come. It is personally handmade and signed by the author, R.D. Stone. With a capital P – for delicious Performances and a capital S – for Satisfaction, you’ll nod in approval, reckoning these multitudes are quite exceptional.

A magnificent cosmorama, sowing seeds in midnight dawns of unpredictable posturing, these poems assert  the bayonets of emotiveness and sadness, embattled writhes of vulnerability  charting voyages of drama in poetic symphonies of a broken kiss, cold eyes saying where shall the weary rest?

Quote on inside back cover:

“A cry of hearts, fever crawling beneath weariness, far and lost… they wanted to understand; strange enough as buried lovers in soft-stone smiles, hungry for survival as shut touches the wilderness believing we are the sum of these moments… but escape cannot be arranged as destiny.” ~~ R.D. Stone
