Zombie-fied & Poetic

This past weekend was a uniquely good one, including hanging out with a wonderful poetic lady friend, Margaret Bashaar, attending a Yusef Komunyakka poetry reading also involving other poets and a powerful jazz band, and then heading to the possibly haunted but definitely creative Grand Midway Hotel in Windber Pennsylvania where I met quite a few interesting individuals, plus played a zombie part in a new movie. Slurp! A few photos below.

My Creative Writerly Phone Sex Operator Interview

"Poetry is my passion and has been for a very Iong time. My college degree is in creative writing, was especially attuned to poetry, and I had a fun and enjoyable college experience. After that, I was already feeling resigned to the fact that I was going to have to secure a relatively meaningless and dinky doo day job in order to pay my bills. I seemed to have some sordid glamour in the notion of sleazy or seedy or alternative day jobs. Day jobs of which one's mother might disapprove. My...

Doll Injection Mold Disaster

Intro (Post-Stroke):

Hello hello. This is my affair with an odd semi-personal, semi-creative blog entry, possibly to be linked to on Big Tent Poetry, which means that some of my content will need to be poetry-esque, which should not be an enormous problem, since I do indeed adore poetry. First I will admit that often times when I try to think of the name Big Tent Poetry, I accidentally think Pig Tent Poetry. I will also admit that it was actually a few months back that I had intended to wri...

Poetry Book Review Notes & Linkage

I am mentioning this here because I sometimes post links to my various Associated Content articles on Facebook and Twitter and recently I posted a link to a poetry book review I wrote a while back whereupon a woman mentioned to me that she really liked reading my book reviews, but was not crazy about reading them on Associated Content because of all the ads appearing on that site. I understood where she was coming from and did not disagree, but the main reason that I post them on Associated C...

More Grotesque Poltergeistism

I grew up in a midwestern area with lots of farms, farm equipment, and cornfields. I love various aspects of the gothic, the grotesque, strangely scary Ouija Board snippets, poltergeistism as unusual female powers and other creepy yumminess. Some thinks that are yummy to me might be grotesque to others. Do you think I care? Well, part of me does. Part of me really wishes to be myself (including my strange, dark, oddball interests); but part of me is bothered by the semi-unacceptable aspects o...
