Announcements from 2006
December 25, 2006
Reading! January! 6th! The So & So series will be hosting the first reading (and first public appearance of) Flim Forum Press' anthology Oh One Arrow. I'll be reading along with old friends Adam Golaski, Matthew Klane, and Jeff Paris. We'll be at Porter Square Books. Come by!

The John Cotter / Shafer Hall Poetry Machine will be updated from time to time this new year & will be well worth keeping an eye on.
December 12, 2006
You'll want to check out the first issue Absent just now online. Try Matt Henricksen's New Sparrow, New Sorrow then Kathleen Rooney's Stop. Motion. That's Elisa Gabbert behind the wheel.

Set aside a night on December 15th, 16th, or 17th, to see me perform in the premier of 7 ate 9, a new play from the Interrobang Theater Company at the Boston Center for the Arts. This incredibly fun and unsettling new play will be directed by the brilliant Kelly McCabe, whose Linus Super Hero knocked me out last year so much so I practically petitioned her to be a part of this one. 7 ate 9 was written by Jeff Van Dreson, which makes us lucky. "If you aren't winning, you aren't playing; if you aren't playing, you aren't here."

House Press is creating a hyperplace plane for Matthew Klane. His Meister-Reich Experiments await us at their press page. They'll grow, "as lively as a cricket / in the embers of a fire."

Never Cry Woof is coming.
October 20, 2006
This was unexpected.
September 26, 2006
My Transet collaborator Adam Golaski writes of Alli Warren, George Oppen, and verses new and poetical at CutBank. A fun and a real read.
September 25, 2006
MORE theater? Yes, more theater! I'll be playing another evil game show host (and a video game soldier, and the devil) in an upcoming production by the Interrobang Theater Company of a new play by Jeff Van Dreason. Mid-December, say. Dates and details? Soon.

I'm home in Boston after grand weeks west. Thanks Erin, Brian, Corbachos, and Carons for the hot meals and beds (spare or inflatable). Thanks Molly Fager for a fun reading (and to my new friend--whose name I've ungratefully forgotten-- for the impromptu flute). Thanks to fruit leather for getting me up Bear Peak. Thank you all!

BOULDER READING FRIDAY! I'll be reading poetry at the Dairy Center for the Arts with writer Jon Theunnisen tomorrow at 7pm (Mountain Time). Come by!
September 1, 2006
The Colombia Journal of American Studies just published an article I wrote last week about why everyone should read more poetry, particularly the three books I review (by Jennifer L. Knox, Maggie Smith, Daniel Bouchard). Sam Sacks has a great piece in this month too about Joseph Epstein, more blood on the floor.
August 27, 2006
If you want to read blood on the floor, try Adam Golaski’s take-down of Joe Wenderoth on the CutBank blog.
August 15, 2006
Check out Jaime Corbacho's beautiful poem for Colin McKenna (née Hodges) in the latest print edition of Rattapallax available at better bookstores. "It is morning, and every nugget of truth / has turned back into a bottle."
August 14, 2006
I'll be a featured poetry reader on September 15th in Boulder at the Dairy Center For the Arts, as part of their "Naked Pages," series. If you're planning on spending the 15th Boulder, it would be a shame if you didn't come. Or stop by after for a drink, for God's sake.
August 13, 2006
It seems my friend & mentor Steve Donoghue has turned his well-formed brain to reviewing books for the Colombia Journal of American Studies. It's about time he did, too. Read his truly excellent exploration of Dick Cheney, Watergate, and the new fashion for protracted subtitles here.
August 11, 2006
Now it has just come to my attention that my favorite spatial-experimental poet, Matt Klane, has published a strange new work in Word for / Word. You thought you knew what poetry was. You were in err.
July 20, 2006
Two new poems are now up on Coconut #5! Find Hitching a Ride On the Fire Engine Back to My House and You're Sleeping I'm Dreaming You're Sleeping here.
July 1, 2006
I'm going to use this first update post to say how proud and grateful I am to Jeff Eaton for designing me such a grand site. Thanks for the big house, Jeff.
I'll be upstairs, folks. The door is open.
