The Keener in Chief

 

A professional mourner from Ancient Egypt

A short story of mine is up at Midcult. The word "Keener" comes from the old Irish tradition of Keening, a form of public lamentation at funerals.

Drip Drop a Poem Plop

 


Drip Lit Mag published a poem of mine. I fashioned it out of a body of text formed from John Cheever's the Swimmer. I ran it and backwards and forwards, dismantled the whole thing like a moth in a cocoon, and then assembled these lines from the soup of disjointed clauses.

Click with this Beetle

 

Wireworms come from these beetles doing the nasty

Wireworm Magazine has published a piece of experimental writing called Median Opportunities which I wrote and rewrote and rewrote again until it could now find a home.

A Superfine Story

 

I wonder how many people think this is the Brooklyn Bridge

Y2K Quarterly a venue dedicated to all things turn-of-the-millennium has published a short tale of mine. I promise it is not too long. It's called the Dandy Ace. Read it and add to the counter numbers at the bottom of the page.

The Candid Review

 


It's THE Candid Review. Not A Candid Review of my work. It's just (TWO) poems. The first is called Processing Error. When you see it DO NOT PANIC. Everything has downloaded correctly. The second is called Alimentary Affinities, hence the picture above.

Man Versus Fridge


The epic battle of our times, presented in a short fiction form by me. Well, posted and hoisted onto the internet courtesy of Across the Margin. The origins of this story began with the Collected Letters of John Berryman. One of the entries is not a letter to Saul Bellow or a TMI correspondence with his son Paul, but rather an angry missive to the real estate company managing his apartment in NYC. I thought this might be an interesting kind of tale of woe to work with, and work with it I did. To results deemed satisfactory to Across the Margin. Read and enjoy. Then listen to the humming coming from your fridge.

I Am a Dope Fiend Again

 


Greetings from Tuscaloosa. It's here that I've received news of a poem of mine being published in the Dope Fiend Daily. Yes, it's another one in that august blogspot site. It's called "the Dankest of Avatars."

It's a Prose Day in the Neighborhood


The drought of short fiction is broken folks. Up at Short Story Town there is a piece by me called "Plugged into the Jacket." It's at the top of the page for now. In a week or so you might have to scroll down to find it. It may or may not be based on a time when I wrote essays meant for other people to use for studying purposes. No comment.

Bronze Age Scenarios in a Rusty Truck

 


Happy autumn to you all. Celebrate going ahead by going back, back to the Bronze Age with a poem of mine in Rusty Truck. It was inspired by reading the beginning of Bertrand Russell's A History of Western Philosophy. 

(Also, don't forget to read my short story Delusions of Failure up at Purple Wall and vote for it)
