ERASING THE WORLD
I have 4 pieces up over at Gobbet Mag in which I erase André Breton, Philippe Soupault, Stéphane Mallarmé, & some crazy French guy named Joseph A. W. Quintela.

I’M SO ALL THE WAY HOMAGE AT NECESSARY FICTION RIGHT NOW
In which I am a mythical beast who wanders the unruly expanses of Wisconsin wilderness, Colonel Kurtz to Ben Tanzer’s Captain Willard, riffing over Andrew Zawacki’s Georgia. Ben asked me to contribute a piece to his excellent series as So New | Necessary Fiction’s Writer in Residence, about something that has changed my life along the way as an artist. Thanks, Ben!

ARDENTER | a video poem
Swoon & I teamed up a while back as part of the 7 Sins/Virtues project. He asked me to write/read a poem about gluttony. The project has been put on indefinite hold by its organizers, but the good news is that we can now share it with all of you. Enjoy!

WE ARE NOVEMBER & FULL OF SO MANY THINGS
Here we are already halfway through November. I’m going to quickly round a few things up & invite you in to party with them, hands waving & bodies convulsing in the awkward dance moves of your choice.
You can find my 25 Points review of Kristina Marie Darling’s fantastic Gold Wake Press book, THE BODY IS A LITTLE GILDED CAGE at HTML Giant. Feel free to comment & beat me up some. After all, it isn’t HTML Giant without a good eye-gouging, is it?
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.
Joseph A. W. Quintela graciously granted my poem Dear Tenants in Room 16 a Pushcart nomination, for which I am grateful.
You can find my photograph [untitled] published over at the newly resurrected Mad Rush.
Swoon’s brilliant videopoem PROOF, which features my words & voice was recently screened as part of an international film poetry festival in Athens.
It’s never too late to enjoy 13-word horror stories, so, if you haven’t yet, please check out my Artistically Declined Press chapbook XIII:R. Also, Goodreads it!
Lastly, I’ve begun make art prints available at both Society 6 and Red Bubble. Find me, friend me, check out the neat-o wares!
Thank you for reading this far. Please don’t stop dancing on account of my signing off.

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.

DEERBIRDS OF THE WORLD UNITE
“Ryan W. Bradley and David Tomaloff’s You Are Jaguar, the first title from Artistically Declined Press’s Twin Antlers imprint, is such a work, a disarming, intensely self-aware tangle of dueling verse that is not only a testament to the convergence of two distinct, exceptionally talented poetic voices, but also to the process itself, a primal hymn where the need for inclusion is extolled as the greatest of virtues. Truly sanguineous indeed.” —From Chris Vola’s review of YOU ARE JAGUAR at Outside Writers

DEERBIRD REPRESENT
“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.
