EXIT STRATEGIES {I-III} + PROCESS NOTES AT ATTICUS REVIEW

I’m really just blown away by the attention my Gold Wake Press chapbook EXIT STRATEGIES has garnered lately. Atticus Review has kindly chosen to feature the first three in the videopoem series Swoon and I collaborated on, along with our notes on the project. Please join us as we hide from wolves, ravenous seas, and the hulking masses towering across the skyline. Good Friday fun for the whole family, in other words. GO!

CONVERSATIONS WITH THE OLIFAUNT

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
