a happy box...



freshly arrived at the Orange Alert Press HQ. right on schedule...

nice mention...

Jason at Orange Alert puts a "Spotlight" on one of mine.

if you've not picked this one up, I hope you take a chance on it; and if you think mr. cunningham is a total asshole and nothing but a pure shitheel who can't write a lick, then check out the rest of the Propaganda Press stable of writers, folks like justin.barrett, alan catlin, a.d. winans, hosho mccreesh, jeff fleming and many more. you can do a lot worse in the small press than some of these titles, plus PP actually thinks poets should get royalties on their work, isn't that crazy? I think it's crazy, but what the hell do I know? I'm just a jerk...

the proof...

has arrived for Sunlight.

free shipping on all orders placed before the release date of May 25th (Miles Davis' birthday); the hardbacks are gone but the softcovers are almost ready to roll. get yours today!

Throwing around culture’s Titans—Jerry Garcia, Hemingway, Billie Holliday, Pollack, Hawking, van Gogh, Bill Hicks, Bukowski, among others in just a few short pages—it’s quickly apparent that these missives are painted with broad strokes. It’s all part of two artists mapping their friendship through letters as Cunningham and McCreesh proclaim their “duty as poets” and their longing to be “fully human,” where you ultimately you realize it’s not so much about the Titans as it is their fire. - David McNamara (Publisher, Sunnyoutside)

lit shiz...

each year, Bill Roberts of Bottle of Smoke Press creates a masterpiece of the broadside printing arts, a compilation of great poetry and unbelievable printing called Bottle, an all-broadside "magazine." this year is no exception, and I've been lucky enough to have a few poems in past issues, and Bill found one of mine he thought enough of to include in #6, due out very soon. this bad boy is gonna be seriously beautiful and I can't wait to see it in its completed state. thanks, Big Bill...

you can catch a couple of videos of my broadside being printed by Bill and Jill Cypher of Lead Graffiti. check it out H E R E and H E R E.

I'll post ordering info as soon as it becomes available.

also just got the new New York Quarterly. haven't made it thru yet, but it looks pretty damn good overall, with barely any usual small press whiny-ass poems working the diary/journal angle (there are a few; you can't escape it). I have one more extra copy for anyone who emails me and wants it (somehow they sent me two extras; I got another in the mail today).

you can't go wrong with nibble, either; the new issue is a beaut. jeff fleming's editorial selections are spot on as usual. over at the website this week is his "Eight Questions" interview series, and this week it's Father Luke. worth your time...

got my contrib. copy of the fantastic debut release from Chance Press called A Common Thread and it's one of the nicest designed chap anthologies I've seen; double hand sewn signatures, slick paper, letterpressed cover piece, gorgeous endpages, and an interesting pouch containing the autographs of all contribs on individual slips of paper. it features the poetry of Bukowski dot Net members, and is surprising in its breadth and scope. not just the "type" of poetry you might expect. I think the autographed copy is sold out but you can get more info H E R E. thanks to Jordan and Justine for putting out such a fine bit of printing.

lastly, the letters book is at the printer. Jason Beherends, the editor of OA Press is "twittering" clips from the book, and if you're into following that sort of thing (I'm not) you can click H E R E. it'll be out by the end of the month...exciting stuff indeed. thanks again to everyone who's supported it.

interview and...

if you still don't know enough about hosho, father luke or myself, you can click H E R E and fill your brain with whatever might be missing.

also, the letters book is coming right along and will be out by the end of the month; the cover is done, the guts are laid out, the cd is going to be duped, everything is falling into place. all the info you need can be found H E R E. you can also hear an excerpt from The Sunlight Tapes at the link...

and if you don't buy it, we're gonna send this guy over to your house to persuade you:
