Here we are already halfway through November. I’m going to quickly round a few things up & invite you in to party with them, hands waving & bodies convulsing in the awkward dance moves of your choice.
You can find my 25 Points review of Kristina Marie Darling’s fantastic Gold Wake Press book, THE BODY IS A LITTLE GILDED CAGE at HTML Giant. Feel free to comment & beat me up some. After all, it isn’t HTML Giant without a good eye-gouging, is it?
Scott Bugher at Split Lip Magazine asked Tyler Gobble some questions, & then he asked me for some words about Tyler. It’s a crazy mixed-up world, where sometimes you have to swan dive off the top bunk & trust that the floor is made of soft, delicious pudding.
Joseph A. W. Quintela graciously granted my poem Dear Tenants in Room 16 a Pushcart nomination, for which I am grateful.
You can find my photograph [untitled] published over at the newly resurrected Mad Rush.
Swoon’s brilliant videopoem PROOF, which features my words & voice was recently screened as part of an international film poetry festival in Athens.

Regarding my Red Ceilings Press ebook, Olifaunt:
“Just like ‘Olifaunt’ is the incorrect spelling of ‘elephant’ in a modern view, all of the poems in this collection are not written in proper English…. The formatting of these poems amuses me, as several of them look as though they were once a part of the script of a computer program. This association helps me ignore my usual dislike for somewhat illogical poems since programming languages are by no means logical to read.” —from a student review of Olifaunt
The Olifaunt responds:
“Incorrect spelling is Just like the of ‘elephant’. In all computer of the poems written in once a part this not collection proper are English. Though they the formatting of in these them poems amuses as several of me, look as by no means of were the script a program of. This ‘Olifaunt’ helps me usual ignore my association dislike for a somewhat modern view, illogical since poems read programming to languages are logical.” —from a Olifaunt student of review
Ride the Olifaunt at Red Ceilings Press
