the knuckle
i got my subscriber's copy of Naked Knuckle today. if you don't know, NK is a rather new (only on issue #5) poetry journal out of Modesto, CA that says it contains "poetry that'll bust your mind's eye wide open". it's a beautiful, small-format magazine filled with some of the best poetry around. this issue included the ubiquitous Karl Koweski, Christopher Cunningham, Charles Rammelkamp and Raymond Mason, among others. i've had a few poems in previous issues, too. anyway, it's nice to know that there are still journals out there like Naked Knuckle. plus, this issue has a creepy drawing on the cover that looks like Iggy Pop with a broken nose and a droopy right eye. it's weird. if you're interested in checking it out, or submitting, drop me an email and i'll give you the info.

casey-
yes, i completely forgot to mention the little slip of paper Greg throws into the journal with other publications. very cool.
i saw the pics from the levyfest. looks like you guys had a blast. i made a pact with Bill of BOSPress that i'll go the next one in 3 years. maybe we'll meet there.
casey-
i saw the pics, too. it definitely looked like a blast. i look forward to the next one and will do my best to be there.
chris-
you gonna let casey say shit like that against you and your country? i wouldn't take it. i say you start a literary war. lob some poetic grenades his way, launch some mortar stanzas, fire off a few volleys of the verse cannon.
chris-
i was going to try to defend you, but casey's right. what the fuck is up with Canadian Bacon? it's ham, for christ's sake. no about of calling it bacon will make it bacon. send those salvoes of poetic H-bombs across the border, casey, and blow those ham-eating, bacon-calling bastards to smithereens.
"word terrorists". i love it!
chris,
i've never heard of female bacon before, but it sounds weird. isn't that another name for labia? like meat curtains? female bacon, weird. and you guys each that shit?
but, i still say Canadian bacon is ham. it's good, don't get me wrong, but bacon it is not.
you mean we actually have to ENTER Canada for this war of words? shit. nevermind! ;)
i'd just as soon stay here in America.
also, the way you spell eulogy reminds me of that movie Zoolander, where Derek Zoolander keeps calling it a ugoogily. watch out folks, chris is gonna write a ugoogily for America. ;)
chris,
ooh, is that a challenge? :)
nah, i'd as soon stay home than go overseas to Canada. i mean, it's like 9 hours by boat, 4 hours by plane across two oceans. it's just not all that appealing.
but, if you want to have a good old poetic throwdown via the internet, let's do it! :) if not for anything that for fun, at least. we can get Casey involved and even have some independent voters, or whatever. the bet will be whoever loses owes the other two a beer when we meet.
as for us being a bunch of cheap shot pansies; yeah, so what? whatcha gonna do about it? and be careful of your answer because we may drop a bomb on your ass.
i think you have a Ben Stiller crush. and inferiority complex that you mask by feigning hatred. it's so obvious you possess a strong manlove for Mr. Stiller.
as for bacon, if you were making Canadian Bacon, you were actually making ham. get it right, man! :)
