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!
