'Boatship: Port Layout Gossips' is a drag down from awhile back and now seeing its own smearing out of the caves into the townsfolk, as thus spoke zarathustra almost, so have it, rumor and straight, plod and strut, adrift and ahead, this a piece to stray my part of stray parts, on the layering of hearing/here and constructing/awayness. I keep you in awares, invisible disabilities, September sometime. Look. / Tonya M.

Two birds, one stone, ha laid over my own self to the point of hysteria and here two chaps unfurl, one electronic friend defriended upon me by bad blurb vibe and timeframes, but here the two of them are, present and soon to be present - o n e Approx. 25 pgs. /Inpatient Press (2015) / by Matthew Johnstone / $ 5 Transparent cover-back cover sheet
o n e is joined with us out of the people it was composed by, then into the computer, then out of it onto rad format and issued forth, that the Inpatient Pressguys did, Daniel Schwartz and Michael Anzuoni. Gratitudes be to they: this pooch is only a $five$ dollar stroll down the greenback highway, cheaper than a Hot-N-Ready ( because those are 6.68 w tax, psh ), and it has more slices (!). It's linked to over on the right side of this page eh?
/ Plus, and moreover : Note on Tundra is in the stage of pre-order to purchase with blind leap money, ten, but if you come to town I'll buy you a drink at a two for one bar, so really this pup is only going to run you a thin ten bucks ( which, when leveed toward the destructive other tendencies at which we toss the monies might seem less useful or gratifying, but query me at this and we can discuss or I buy you drinks and pour over a handmade copy? ). Do it, pay this pal and jump me your cash for lifestyle gamesmanship?
Learned from the connie in charge the sensation feelings decides the decision for putting out one more o n eplus a personally lovely important tossing ready piece called Still, Detritivore ( in which I make several admissions that sort of frighten me, are the reason I wrote the thing/write things? ). These due out October / November when, so obvious reminders are in the future, but the sensation feelings is an upholder and risky in touch with a certain emotive precision, to be thusly, and getting at what most other places don't get to. I'd advise checking out their 1st, and their 2ndas one waits for the 3rd. / Plus. The niche-dark splayed down upon the rust crown spire of cities, edges of knives bigger than houses, PLINTH will be new zone for the e n t i r e t y of "( Kiln )" ( the entire thing ) sometime near the futures, also for them a thing of contemporaneousness deemed 'Black Theatre' which I once read @ Dino's and called it 'political.' Check their matter and be at the tips of the eyes for their new. Also: watch Also look at Cancel descend then obliterate: "…hey creeping thing…throat full…about that time…" "yes...jackdoor havoc…jackdoor havoc…hey, billy…yes"
Grandness upon ye a rich rich feel to have somethings kept to me now by kept to others, or the possibility of, firstNote on Tundrabeing done up at present by the lovely DoubleCross Press folks, now, as have just heard down the grapevines, my o n e to be done nicely, also hand bound, also individualized ( no mass churns out into the economy or brusque product without soul power ) by the always-already cool people over at Inpatient Press. o n e, pieces of which were put up there back in March , co-won their 1st chapbook alongside Dorothy Howard's Troll. All but two of the chapters of o n e are free to be seen smeared atop the internet, but the entirety of this calm, and stable line of poems will probably arouse me a tear dropped.

Brent House has a couple of searing vast intimate pieces ( these 'Pastoral' pieces initiate the temporaral/metonymic/scene inventory-mounded from attributes/ objects/people heaped capable by shared characteristics, the intrinsic surrealism and shock of sense that H. Crane, Rimbaud do leaves one in awe, then critical, then awe again, then reverence, + euphoria, synaesthesias that skew out new behaviors, tint, prismatic standard, + formally organic/Duncan more with smirk/cummings with more intent, + lamentation takes these expanses as their valid field, as do supplications, these templates invoked ) in the newer, skinner, more frequent Kenyon Review, do it to it, get at it, and snatch it up or go the Vander library to read it for free as this dude did, dude. Other poem, other 'pastoral' poem of. / Found this poem-vid-poem over at Moving Poems, wanting to make a vid-poem-vid for 'Note on Tundra' soonly from DoubleCross Press:

June, again, again. Settled to it rickshaws of the shuttled, the cacophony here, good god the sorrow, stationed downtown where simple walk is moves beset upon by all sides, near the river, the river side quiet and brackish, the other commerce and completely transient and until, this quadrant, this quadrant is vacuum, is IED, where people go to from. CMA done, Bonnaroo done. Opposite side river here. / Now got them 'Ulysses S Grant.' chunks ( separate hanging land & projections ) over at the Lynchian Gobbet. Check out my melodies. Heard 'Bring Out The Body The Suit Is On' is over with Rain, Party, & Disaster Society and forevermore. Read it in like ten seconds if you got it to spare.
If you got it to spare.
