YOU MAKE IT HARD

I have a new poem up at Gloom Cupboard, for my LAdyfriend...

our little easy

Thanks to Doorla Moorehouse for the opportunity. I don't know what she sees in me. Maybe she's had too much pie.

This weekend, I'll be going through the current subs for disenthralled. This is how I do it. I print them out. Spread them all over the floor of the office. Stand over them and rearrange them and walk among them. Once I have a workable issue, I'll sit down and read through it as a whole, fine-tuning the order. Then I post it in a draft and find photos to tie it all together. I look through art and photo galleries every day; by the time I have the written material organized, I usually have a pretty good idea of what images to use. If not, I'll hunt them like a madman--which is something I enjoy doing quite a bit.

Now you know. Didn't want to know? Easy to fix. Look down the staircase in the photo, upper-right. Start counting. Out loud. By the time you hit four, you'll forget what you're doing here.

WARSAW AND A POETESS

Part Two of Paul D. Brazill's badass serial WARSAW MOON is now up at disenthralled. Photography by Michal Giedrojc:

WARSAW MOON: PART TWO

I'm currently reading Julie Buffaloe-Yoder's chapbook, PRICE REDUCED AGAIN, from Backpack Press. Astonishing, like everything Julie does. Highly recommended.

THE MOON AND SICKSENSE

Part Two of Paul D Brazill's WARSAW MOON is coming this weekend at:

I'm quickly losing track of my own publications. Just sent off the manuscript for OUR SECRET END, a collection of original poetry, due out in early summer.

WHERE WE ARE NOT, another chapbook of original poetry, should be published soon by Crystal Folz's Backpack Press.

Tons of things in the works at disenthralled.

MiCrow #3 approaches.

I'm collaborating on a live-photography webcomic. Horror. Or something like it. I'll leave it up to you to decide, once it's posted....

SUCH SURREAL SPLENDOR

The MARY MILLS/JENNY MAY PETERSON Special is up at disenthralled:

YOU CAME TO BANG AND BLAME

disenthralled #6 is now up. This one starts the whoosh of gasoline being ignited and ends with the roar of a chainsaw:

DISENTHRALLED #6

Several new photographers, the first installment of Paul D. Brazill's WARSAW MOON and the debut of Punk Rock Mama Janeen Chabot.

Updated everything Sunday morning.

Next are the MARY MILLS and THEATER issues, followed by a surprise or two....

SHAKE AND ACHE

"Novocalien," my first piece for Dogzplot, is up. I wrote it in the car, waiting for my daughter to get out of school.

Read NOVOCALIEN


Submitted a new poem today, although my fingers were so cold I had to re-type half the words. I'm six feet away from an electric radiator, in the warmest room of the house. Above average temps outside. I don't get it.


I have all the poems ready for my chapbook, but am out of paper. Naturally. Middle of the night Wal-Mart run after work.


Quin Browne will be taking over disenthralled when she returns from the UK this weekend. More on that later.

CROW AND DIS AND ICE-CREAM ADDICTION

MiCrow Winter 2010 is now up at Full of Crow! 22 writers. 5 artists/photographers. Lynn Alexander and I compiled the material; she did a terrific job on the layout. I am very happy and excited (yes, this is really me) to be working with Lynn and the staff at FOC now....

MICROW WINTER 2010

disenthralled #5 came out a few days ago. Top-notch Horror across the spectrum. Roberta Lawson's "His Real Doll" is the scariest thing I've read in years. Brilliant photography, as well, with work by some people new to us....

I'm also putting together a chapbook of original poetry, working on a YA book, and will have a short story called "Novocalien" up soon at Dogzplot.

This is how I slow down.
