Here’s a mini nearly-imperceptible MK newsflash to commemorate the year’s passing. If you missed it, over the last few months, I had a few poems pop up on the internet: a clutch of Rending Stories appeared in the tiny and two poems from a nearly finished manuscript called The Poets — “The Ain’t Gettin Any Younger” and “The Reality Check” — appeared in JMWW and Bullshit Lit, respectively. If you’re not like, uh, a words person, I also had some collages published in Hayden’s Ferry Review, swifts & slows, The Quarterless Review, and Hypersaturation. Many thanks to the many editors for their graciousness and good work!
Meanwhile, in the real world, on Earth, in these very United States, I appeared — sometimes with James Belflower, sometimes sans —to perform our poetry new graphic novel HIST. We hit Amherst, Troy, Endicott College in North Shore Massachusetts, Chicago, Iowa City, and Minneapolis. My gratitude to everyone who hosted and joined us along the way! This winter and spring, I look forward to more performances as we’ll be bringing HIST to Buffalo, Philly, DC, and who knows where! Stay tuned to the Events calendar otherwheres on this site.
Final thang. This year, I’ve started up a little blog, “The Afterword,” where I have plans to review, respond to, and remix my year’s reading list. My first prosy post is on Renee Gladman’s Plans for Sentences (which I bought a few months ago at St. Rocco’s sidewalk sale outside of Urban Aftermath in Albany). Heart of hearts, friends. Here’s to another year of reading and writing!
