EXIT STRATEGIES {IV-VI} + PROCESS NOTES AT ATTICUS REVIEW

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

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!

STUCK BETWEEN STATIONS, LIVE AT AWP CHICAGO

I had the pleasure of reading for Connotation Press at AWP in Chicago. Relive it with me; press play and let me read you a story about Ben Tanzer. Special thanks to Ken Robidoux, the Connotation Press crew, everyone who read and attended, and, of course, Ben Tanzer.

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
