LIONTAMER'S BLUES

ATTICUS REVIEW is running the second and final installment of the film series Swoon and I did for my Gold Wake Press chapbook, EXIT STRATEGIES. My thanks to them, Swoon, Gold Wake Press, and all who have followed and enjoyed this project.

“Projects like this one are the reason we knew we wanted to feature ‘Mixed Media’ in our online journal. Simply amazing.” —Atticus Review

“‘Exit Strategies’ a videopoetry chapbook by Swoon and David Tomaloff, is a unique, impressive example of what can happen when creative minds get together.” —Atticus Books

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

My short story How We Lost the Children, One by One is included in Robert Vaughan’s excellent Flash Fiction Fridays anthology. The anthology recaps all of the stories read on WUWM’s Flash Fiction Fridays radio segment hosted by Robert Vaughan and Stephani Lecci. It’s a monster of a collection, and I’m just thrilled be a part of it. Thanks, Robert, for all of your support and everything you do.

I’m excited to announce that Red Ceilings Press has released an official limited edition of my chapbook, A SOFT THAT TOUCHES DOWN &REMOVES ITSELF. This limited edition is a pretty little A6 pocket size version expanded with a few new poems and a spiffy redesigned cover by Miles Donovan.

This is a limited run of 40. I have about half of those here. So, let’s sweeten it: if you’re in the US, send me $5.50 and I’ll send you a chapbook along with a spiffy postcard featuring the heart artwork on one side and a handwritten poem on the other.
