Hello,
I hope this message finds you well. I have enjoyed reading the blog ever since I stumbled upon it some months ago.
To quickly introduce myself: I live and work in Antigua, Guatemala. Here I am the director of an educational development organization called Nuestros Ahijados. Through schools, clinics, sustainable micro-financing programs, social work, anti-human trafficking efforts, and other programs; we work to “break the chains of poverty through education and formation” for our 12,000 dependents. All of this work will be featured on ABC news 20/20 for Diane Sawyer’s Dec. 17th special on global health.
This spring, my first book of poetry, iPoems for the Dolphins to Click Home About, was released. The book comprises poems written mostly in the last three years, some of which was spent hitchhiking from Southern Chile to Alaska.
Living and volunteering in Central America makes it very difficult to promote a poetry book in the conventional ways of readings, book signings etc. So, what I am doing is simply sending copies of my book to the poetry blogs that I enjoy reading. Hoping that, if you like that book, you would consider writing a review on it, or featuring it in some way on your website.
To this end, I am able to send a PDF version of the book via email, or an physical copy through the mail if you would like one.
It was recently featured on the following blog whose writer provided a very kind review of the book that I think gives a good sense of what the book is about: http://alyssacmartino.com/2010/08/why-ilike-luke-armstrongs-ipoems/
I appreciate the opportunity of your time and consideration of this.
-Luke

My just finished novel, How One Guitar Will Save The World, will soon be looking for an agent. I am a contributing editor for TheExpeditioner.com. This fall our book, The Expeditioner’s Guide to the World will be released. My first book of poetry iPoems for the Dolphins to Click Home About, was published March of this year.
