NOTHING BUT THE SHADE TO COMFORT US AND THEN
I have a storyish poemy thing up over at Aleathia Drehmer’s lovely Durable Goods/In Between Altered States [Episode 34] on the theme of manipulation, titled NOTHING BUT THE SHADE TO COMFORT US AND THEN. Media trouble much? Signs point to yes!

I KNOW WHAT DUCKS LIKE
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.

POEM IN THE PAPERY PRINTY THING
I have a piece titled IN MEDIAS RES No. 2 in issue #0 of 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.

OH JUST THE THINGS
Meg Tuite & the Connotation-Press An Online-Artifact were kind enough to make me their mid-month fiction feature with five pieces & an interview. I tell the whole internet things like, “In the winter, people look at me like I have just pulled down my pants & my dick is made of spiders because ‘iced tea in the winter?’” & “Mostly I poke the dirt with a stick & wait for it to move.” All true. Come hang!
BEEN CAUGHT STEALING?
I Poemed the News over at CBS Chicago again this week. Heartfelt thanks and platonic, baseball-style butt-smacks to the Mason Johnson. See also: Russ Woods, J. Bradley, Cassandra Gillig. Yes, yes.

elimae: Author’s Choice Anthology
Don’t you miss elimae ? Me too. Cooper was kind enough to include one of my pieces in his online anthology of elimae greats. Lots of excellent stuff lives here. Dig it. All of it. Dance to it when no one is looking.

SUPER JOURNAL WRITER ART & LOVE FEST POST
A kind shout out to ESC zine, who listed both Kristine Ong Muslim & me as “Writers You Should Be Reading.” My man Swoon & the always excellent Connotation-Press are also recipients of the love.
Fun fact: Meg Tuite tells me that my work will once again find itself on Connotation Press pages soon. Happy, yes.
