If you want to give me a topic to discuss or say anything at all, please Send me an e-mail. If you request it, I'll write it. Or head to Joseph Carlough on Myspace and do it that way. The new fashioned way.
My new book of advice poems, Things Not To Do, is now up for sale on my Etsy! Hooray! Only $1.50! Hooray again! It’s a smattering of 45 or so snippets of advice, typed in a font made from my handwriting, and bound on some lovely recycled 28lb paper WITH COLOR. Sick. Bro.
You can either click here or click on the photo.
New book finished tonight. Expect it up soon, hopefully tomorrow. I might even do a giveaway! I’ve always wanted to do a giveaway!
Halloa, everyone! Did a ton of printing this morning…well, no, not a ton, but I printed a few extra copies of Dark Nature, which I haven’t printed in awhile. Tossed ‘em up on my Etsy shop. I spent like 4 months working on these 5 poems and 1 essay. You should get one today, you won’t be disappointed!
Here’s one of the poems:
Rafflesia Avifauna
The plumes of a lamented chickadee
mottled, though bright, are
a shade of alabaster,
He will not sing
I bend to the bird on the ground, wishing to
cradle his pygmy, mangled body,
Tug at the fledgling and find
roots already crept into his bones
His body nurses a nosegay that blooms
a bouquet through his chickadee skeleton
the pollen, treacly, dizzies my head
I leave him to the florets
Spendin’ the whole night printing and binding. Orders sent out tomorrow [hopefully! (I’m lookin’ at you, Susan!)]!
