This post could also be called "When Elephants Lose Their Teeth, They Die"or a few other gems that I heard from while listening to Ish Klein and Greg Purcell's No Slander podcast. Episode 5 features many wonderufl things, including talk of Tales from Ovid, by Ted Hughes, the digestive system, and a healing session. There is also a reading from me.The reading is from UMass Amherst's Visitng

“She was one of the great poets of the 20th century,” said Sonia I. Ketchian, the author of“The Poetic Craft of Bella Akhmadulina” (1993). “There’s Akhmatova, Tsvetaeva, Mandelstam and Pasternak — and she’s the fifth.” “When a young person comes to ask me, ‘Should I, should I not, write poetry?’ I say, ‘If there’s a choice, don’t.’ ” - B. A.  Akhmadulina passed away last November. I kept

Julie Choffel's Figures In A Surplus is sure to be a beautiful read. Here is what the editors of Antioch Press, who published Choffel's chapbook, had to say about her work: In this new collection, Choffel’s sparse poems present images and actions not as extant material, but as nebulous plans and ideas. She wields the subjunctive mood with aplomb, creating branching futures whose possible

Last night was the last NYC stop of the Time Travel through the Cosmos Tour. Ben Fama was charming and awesome as usual. James Copeland mesmerized the place with his poems and visual / musical accompaniment. And before the poems there were two bands -- Gem Club and Holy Spirits, and they were fantastic, reevaluate your life good. And we won a cement head. The head did the introductions last

Ryan Marshall wants to educate and raise awareness about SMS, or Smith Magenis Syndrome. He is raising money for research with the help of some musician friends who put together the wonderful album, Do Fun Stuff. You can purchase the album on itunes or make a donation - 100% of the proceeds will go toward SMS research. Also, if you have a blog and want to get involved, you can use this handy

Below is Weezer's new album cover. And here is the explanation. I am obviously very happy about this! On another cover note, Anna Pinkas drew the cover of Try A Little Time Travel using my very vague description  and her obviously giant talent. I think it turned out beautifully.  Please check out her other work here.

I have a chapbook forthcoming from Ugly Duckling Presse. It is called Try A Little Time Travel, and if you wish,  you can now pre-order it. Officially, it comes out in July. This fall and winter Ben Fama and I are going to do a series of reading in NYC (and maybe in some other places). Ben wrote the magnificent Aquarius Rising (UDP 2010), which is now shipping to lucky people all over the

Good Thing: Really an excellent thing, a most lovely thing. It's called Disco Prairie Social Aid & Pleasure Club, and it's a small book of many poets and a few lines from their poems. It's a book of lines from poems from all over. For example, Jack Christian has a few lines from "Family System" which was in Diagram 8.2, and Laura Solomon has lines from the poem "28 Graves Avenue" from her book

I have some poems in the new issue of Saltgrass Journal! They are about a man names Moses and I don't know where they came from. And they keep coming, so we'll see what happens. They are just some of the poems that are in this issue. So many wonderful poems all together in there! Also, also. I'm coming home. So my head is busy. So that means many things.

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.

The January 25th issue of the The New Yorker is amazing. I'm just reading it now as my subscription is on hold until I return to the states. I depend on random issues finding their way here. There is an article about the olfactory system and childhood by David Owen called "The Dime Store Floor." There is also an article about cryonics called "The Ice Man," by Jill Lepore.

I am kind of blown away by news that Joan Collins is the face of the new Alexis Bittar campaign. I cannot think of another ad campaign that stars a 76 year old woman (other than some non-sexy personal hygiene product commercial.....). Joan's fierceness outfierces all. She is not one to mess with. In other really really exciting news, Sueyeun Juliette Lee's 2nd book, Underground National from
