Station Identification: Your Guide to Finding and Identifying Victor D. Infante in Cyberspace
Periodically, I post an update on which social networking sites I'm favoring, along with other Web-based odds and ends. Looks like it's that time again ...
I'm the author of the full-length poetry collection, City of Insomnia , which is available from Write Bloody Publishing, which you can follow on Facebook or Twitter to keep up on all the exciting independent literature coming from that direction. My work also appears in a number of Write Bloody anthologies, including Knocking at the Door: Poems For Approaching the Other , edited by Lea Deschenes and Lisa Sisler; The Last American Valentine: Poems to Seduce & Destroy , edited by Derrick Brown; Aim For the Head: An Anthology of Zombie Poetry , edited by Rob Sturma; and News Clips & Ego Trips: The Best of Next ... Magazine (to which I wrote the introduction), edited by G. Murray Thomas; as well as anthologies from other publishers, including Incidental Buildings & Accidental Beauty : An Anthology of Orange County Poets (to which I also wrote the introduction), edited by Mifanwy Kaiser; So Luminous the Wildflowers: an Anthology of California Poets , edited by Paul Suntup; Poetry Slam: The Competitive Art of Performance Poetry , edited by Gary Glazner; Don't Blame the Ugly Mug: 10 Years of 2 Idiots Peddling Poetry (to which, again, I wrote the introduction. I write a lot of introductions.), edited by Ben Trigg & Steve Ramirez; and Spoken Word Revolution Redux, edited by Mark Eleveld. Lastly, I'm one of a gazillion editors on the forthcoming Best Indie Lit New England anthology. All of the titles above are available wherever you buy books. And buying books is important, especially books from small and independent presses. But you knew that already, didn't you? Can I recommend a book-buying binge, where you acquire some or all of those books? Christmas is coming, after all.
VictorInfante.com remains the primary portal between my real life and various people seeking information about that. It also serves to confuse people looking for information on either the notorious international arms dealer Victor "The Jackal" Infante or other strange people whom I share my name with, none of whom are, to my knowledge, relatives. VictorInfante.com is WOEFULLY in need of updating, a fact I was reminded of recently at a reading, when the host introduced me with all SORTS of dated information, but there's still plenty of information there about my poetry and other writing, along with a link to my blog on Livejournal. Which you're currently reading.
I am seriously considering dropping this blog in favor of my Tumblr, Future Shock Remedial Course , but haven't come to a decision yet on the matter. There's still a lot I prefer about Livejournal.
I'm the editor-in-chief of Radius: Poetry From the Center to the Edge , which you can follow on Facebook or Twitter. I'm also an editor in the Lifestyle section of the Worcester Telegram & Gazette, where I oversee The Weekend Starts Now the e-mail newsletter of arts & entertainment; the (mostly) daily arts & entertainment blog Pop Culture Notebook , and write the (mostly) weekly music column, What You're Listening To .
I still have presences on a number of social networking sites, and have even found things to do with most of them. My Facebook account is probably the most active, as I use that both to keep in touch with real-life friends and to promote my writing. My MySpace account is currently severely neglected, and I won't even link to it. (I have a ReverbNation account, but it's right now only used for work purpose.) I keep a LinkedIn account for strictly professional use, and I have to say, while it's proven useful on occasion, it's back on my endangered list. I have a Twitter account and a Google Plus account, both of which are basically ghost repeaters for my various projects (and occasional other things that interest me.) I have bursts of activity on Good Reads, as time permits. Unfortunately, time permits me very little, lately.
OK. That's enough. Now you know where to find me or, conversely, avoid me with impunity.
