As Common As Carbon is a digital poetry publication comprised of 230+ poems written, designed, and published independently by Michael Bayba.

All “members” receive lifetime access to this collection after making a one-time payment.

The cost is sliding-scale, so feel free to pay as much or as little as you’d like. 100% of the profit goes directly to me, which will be reinvested in my next poetic venture.
