new NOÖ & Octopus !!

Two smashing journals (NOÖ & Octopus) recently came out with new issues. I feel tremendously happy to have poems in Octopus, and a review of P&HPH in both. 


This is a good feeling. It is a good feeling to be in such tremendous company.

The writing in both magazines is ultra swoon-worthy. You would be a wiser fellow or lady for reading both publications, and carefully.

NOÖ 

Octopus

Joy.

Rarities

Things that are rare:

A double-yolked egg! I could not eat it. But folklore is mostly on my
side, in terms of good vs. bad luck here.

And more rare, a blue copy of The Difficult Farm, which Heather Christle is awarding to a lucky person who can make an neat video, while dizzy. This is a video challenge with the possibility of a rare
gift -- you should meet this challenge.



Here is Heather's hand with the books. Look, the blue one could be yours!

5. Wait for finalists to be posted on Heather's blog.
6. Tell your friends to vote for your video.

A New Week

Natalie Lyalin Week on HTML Giant is fin. It was truly lovely, and it could not have happened without Amy McDaniel, Blake Butler, Nathaniel Otting, Mike Young, Seth Landman, and Seth Parker.

Also, the lovely Gina Myers and Reb Livingston did P&HPH giveaways on their blogs. We have

winners, and more winners to announce.

A Mystery In Common did a special giveaway that included their t-shirts and copies of P&HPH.

Amazing people doing kind things.

All this loveliness for P&HPH is being nicely anchored by my continued efforts with Moby Dick. I'm finally past page 500 (of The Modern Library Classics edition) which is a triumph. Triumph!
