When Life Gives You Lemonade

...life gets tasty...

My readings were glorious and the poets lovely and I was honored to be a part of it.

Now...

You can read a poem from what will be my thesis here.

You can read my very first chapbook ever on h_ngm_n with some other really fabulous work, thanks to nate pritts, the lovely gent who agreed to publish it. If you scroll to the bottom of the page here you'll find it in .pdf format. I'm very, very excited about this. And proud. And grateful.

My first print chap is forthcoming (on some elusive 2010 date) from Publishing Genius, which is also of the rad.

And alice blue, my love, my pet, is working on launching itself as a press. Eventually this fall (should have been by the end of October, but man everything is taking longer than anticipated)-- another in the Spring. And then the first official alice blue full-length manuscript open reading period.

Oh yeah. And I'm guest-editing SLOPE. Check it out.

For reals...

I'm reading. Like. In public places.

Emory University, October 1, with Ken Rumble and Carmen Gimenez Smith

Also, coop renner of elimae was kind enough to publish a couple poems in a smashing new issue.

Sorry for any potential freakouts. But, I swear. We're not dead. We're alive, thriving, and moving forward. Look out for Issue 9.

'09, here I come?

Ok... so, classes start on Tuesday and I don't wanna. Yep. I don't. Freaking. Wanna. For the first time since summer I'm reading things (a lot of things!) that I really like and am interested in. And what's more? Somehow, that finally got me being productive again. I mean, I was writing all last semester, too, but it's different. Here I'm motivated. It's like I can't freaking stop. And I keep starting new things, too, so it's not like I'm working on one thing... right now it's up to three. So I'd like to say thanks:

To my 3 weeks of brainless activity while home with my parents where I read the Twilight series which allowed me to then pursue things I really loved, and also offer thanks: my vocabulary did this to me; the films of Godard and Cocteau and Jarmusch; composers Satie and Debussy and Respighi; Barbara Guest; Jeanette Winterson; Sappho; Steve Martin.


I would also like to thank Tarpualin Sky for including me in their most recent issue, which you can purchase here:
