Shawn Hatfield releases his first book and collection of poetry, Waking Up Is a Disgusting Habit, this Friday July 15th @8PM!
It is held at The Borfski Press headquarters:
17940 Taylor Rd
Hamilton, VA
20158
There will be live poetry readings, live music, beverages, merchandise for sale. Don’t miss an awesome time this summer with The Borfski Crew!
The book is full of raw insights into life, love, and existence. Sometimes incredibly sad and bittersweet, sometimes heartwarming, and sometimes hilarious, Hatfield’s poetry draws the reader in with an honesty and authenticity seldom seen in contemporary poetry.
The book is dedicated “to the assholes.”
First and foremost, I love music and writing. Since I composed my first pieces of music and poetry I've been obsessed with creative output. Music and writing are a constant puzzle I want to solve, whether it is a blog piece, recording session artists, short stories, or full length albums. I am the owner and head engineer of Groove: Music Studios. Currently, we offer professional audio mixing and mastering services. I am also the Senior Editor/Staff Writer at The Borfski Press, an independent publishing company that I co-own with my wife, Dagney.
I am currently working full time in music retail at a small business and part time as a professional musician and writer. I love working in a local shop, building customer relationship management skills, and having the opportunity to sell things I love. My expertise include audio production, live sound, music retail, writing/blogging, and publishing. I especially enjoy writing and learning about music gear, specifically vintage pedals. There's something very special and exciting about stomping a pedal's switch or flipping an amp on for the first time.
