Mark Hossfeld Month Continues with "Grandstand"
Grandstand.
When I was a boy I went to the state capital, Jackson, to see our famous new President Otto Servius. He was so fabulous then, sixty-ish, but always looking like a boy who just poked his head over a mattress and asked if bears go to jail. Turns out, the whole of Mississippi was there to see him. Everyone with an available sister found one and parked her under an ornamented canopy by the football stadium. Then the boys retreated to a bus parking lot. Handsome things in tight pant...

Kim Jong Peeps
In addition to this being the Year of Love and the Year of the House and the Year of Work Ulcer, it has also surely been the year of Our Dear Leader Kim Jong Il! While I am sweating (actually freezing) my tender slag cheeks at retail without heat in the store because the soon-to-be-new landlord's work crew accidentally cut off the power line to our heating system, putting down workers' insurrections and placing buckets under roof leaks from the monstrous snow, my sweetie has been out making a...

Monstrous Snow Smashes 60 Writers
The kindly Michael Kimball was charitable and wise enough to include myself and Blaster Al Ackerman in his and Luca Dipierro's new film "60 Writers/60 Places". I got to read my poem "On Wallowing and Rapture" in front of the very diner that Barry Levinson shot his film that launched Mickey Rourke into the Public's Eye and Blaster did a Pepper Young translation in the legendary Red Room.
"60 Writers" was set for its Baltimore premiere at the Creative Alliance last Friday until the tumultuous sn...

28 Inches Or So of Slack
This year has been nothing if not epic. A country that sat still for an eight year coup by a rich Texas spoiled brat elected its first black president. The economy still tanking almost as bad as The Great Depression from the Texas brat not giving a shit about anything other than war and filling his buddies' pockets (okay, he does seem to have helped diminish AIDS in Africa, but I'm sure there must be some creepy diabolical reason behind it. Like the pesticide company here in Maryland selling ...

Review of The Tinklers' The Elements in Latest Baltimore Magazine
"Read It" by John Lewis
The Tinklers
The Elements (Shattered Wig Press)
For three decades, The Tinklers (Charles Brohawn and Chris Mason) have been sharing their wide-eyed wisdom through paintings, music, books, and performances. The local duo has been featured on NPR (the network once followed a segment on Saddam Hussein with a snippet of their song "Tough Guys Are Probably Sad Inside"), been the subject of an excellent documentary (2007's Everybody Loves The Tinklers), and appeared at venues s...

Braving The Loafers & Docksiders to Taste the Effervescence of Toll's Genius & I Am Genius of the Day!
Transported to out of body experience last Saturday walking the cobblestone streets of downtown Annapolis at night. Driving Commander Chris Toll for his featured reading for Cliff Lynn's "The Corner of Poetry and Main".
O the memories of being pickled on wine in Annapolis in the mid-70s. I was a wee teen with an advanced thirst and a blonde Madeira Guild acoustic that my brother gave me. If you would pull up a stool I will sing you a gentle song of adolescent angst and perhaps a half-baked ...
