some poetry news

i received my contributor's copy of the new anthology, Chemical Lust, by Monophonic Press (and the editors of Cherry Bleeds). this is a sex & drugs anthology featuring the work of Karl Koweski, Will Carpenter, Jeffrey S. Taylor and Tony DuShane.
i have two poems featured, anheuser heaven and right here.

i also just received word from Éric Dejaeger, the generous guy who translated 18 of my poems into French, that five of these poems will appear in the January issue of Noveaux Délits. he mentioned that with some appearing in Liqueur 44 and his own mag, Microbe, all 18 should appear in Belgium and/or France by the first half of 2006. this is amazing news. i'm so excited. i get about 18 poems in magazines in a whole year here in America. having 18 in French-language magazines in only half a year is spectacular. for me.

regardless of chris's sissiness, it's flattering that he's interested. :)

sorry about the comment, but i had to. but, chris made me! ;)
i'm not really sure how they take orders. i'll let you know when i get my copy and all that.

goat meat sounds good, chris. just as long as we cook it and not fuck it. ;)

ha! that's funny.
you know, i've always wanted to host some kind of BBQ or weekend getaway somewhere to meet all you guys. have a week off of just relaxing and bullshitting and writing and BBQing goat meat (or the occasional fucking of said meat, if the impulse so arises). i've thought that would be so fucking cool. all of you from around the US, from Canada and Australia and Sweden and Great Britian or Ireland or wherever you happen to be.

maybe one of these days. if i were infinitely rich i'd fly all of you into Utah (no, strike that; a better choice would be hell, but Utah comes pretty close) and we'd party it up.

ah.
