LIONTAMER'S BLUES

Friends: Banango Street #4. Me. You. Monsters. Alligators. People in suitcases. The works. Come & see how all of this relates to people like Robert Kloss, John Vanderslice, & the Constantines.

Also, see new work by: Melissa Broder, Lisa Marie Basile, Brian Oliu, Rebecca Bornstein, F Daniel Rzicznek, James Tadd Adcox, Caroline Crew, Theadora Siranian, Joshua Amses, Leora Fridman, J.D. Sommer, Sarah Jean Alexander, Juliet Childers, Matthew Drew Williams, Alexander J. Allison, and Kat Dixon, with art by Andrew James Weatherhead.

I have a poem in Issue #1 of 1/25. If you haven’t checked this new lit journal out, you should. It’s a print affair—lean, meticulously crafted, & limited to 25 copies per issue. I’m in Issue #0 (the preview issue) as well. Get them both & take them to the park. Read them to the ducks. The ducks know what’s good. Believe that.

VIA the always far too kind Connotation-Press An Online-Artifact:

“It’s MONDAY and…well…meh. But to help you cope with the Monday blues we are proud as Punch to bring you new work from and an interview with the Rumbler of Racine. The Wild Man of Wisconsin. The Genius Beast from the East. The one, the only, David Tomaloff! Fresh off his “To Kill A Poet” tour, we have FIVE new pieces of flash fiction from David and Monday is saved. Saved! Connotation Press: Afraid Of Men In Hats.”

How anyone can be expected to live up to that, I have no idea. Come hang out anyway & see me passive aggressively complain about iced tea privilege in perennially warm climates.

Seriously. Go!

You know you want to.

Ok, don’t then.

Oh, come on.

Artistically Declined Pressstill has poetry titles on sale. Get over there before the end of the month & load up. YOU ARE JAGUAR can be yours for $7. Do this.

I have a piece titled IN MEDIAS RES No. 2 in Craig Sernotti’s new limited-run print zine, 1/25. (1 of 25, that is, because only 25 are printed.) You can purchase that if you would like, and don’t forget to drop a submission while you’re there.

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.

“When I think about T-Gob and his work, I imagine an America remixed by deejay saints in tank tops…”

I have (depending on how you choose to read it) one, two, or possibly three poems in the new & final issue of elimae. I’m happy to be in the fine company of folks like Howie Good, Helen Vitoria, and Kristina Marie Darling as we send off one of the best ever to do it. Thanks, Cooper and Brandon, for all you have done for writers & readers alike.

“You Are Jaguar is two hands shaking in the woods, two voices wandering in our heads stretching the territory we didn’t know we spanned…” —Meg Tuite, in a fantastic piece about YOU ARE JAGUAR for the Lit Pub.

The YouTube issue of the Northville Review is out, & it’s full of great names and word-things. I’m lucky to count my name & word-thing among them with a piece titled DOES ANYONE HAVE THE TABS FOR THIS. Check it out & pass it around—seriously, with names like Neal Kitterlin, J. Bradley, Alex M. Pruteanu, and Daniel Romo, you will find word-things to suit your tastes, I’m sure.

If you are trying to avoid picking up a copy of Heavy Feather Review 1.2, you might not want to read Tyler Gobbler’s write-up over at Vouched Books today. Thanks, Tyler, for the kind words.
