based on the title of this post, you'd assume it was alcohol-related (or at least -induced). neither is the case. what this title refers to is the new Bottle of Smoke Press Six-Pack release (#5). if you don't know what Six-Pack is, it is a small package of six tiny broadsides featuring six different poets. it's a fabulous idea. this installment includes poems by Christopher Cunningham, Henry Denander, Nathan Graziano, and this blog's very own C. Allen Rearick. helluva poem, Casey. helluva poem! in fact, all the poems are great.
included in the package was the new broadside by TL Kryss. a beautifully designed broadside with a nice little prose poem inside. the printing is immaculate, and set in a gorgeous typeface. well worth whatever Bill is charging.
check out Bottle of Smoke and dive into any of his offerings. you will, no doubt, find something worth the price he's asking.
again, great job Casey. always good to see your stuff!

quick poetry update
i sent Eric Dejaeger, the bloke in Belgium who translated 18 of my poems into French, a copy of my 12 Gauge Press chapbook, The Magnificent Seven, and some broadsides as thanks for being so kind as to translate the poems and submit them to French-language journals. well, i just received word that Eric found three more poems that he wanted to translate (the last three in The Magnificent Seven chapbook). he sent me the new translations, and it's still a hoot to see my words in French.
anyway, nothing more going on other than that.
oh, wait. we're having issues with our mail delivery, suddenly. apparently, our mailman is rejecting mail that is properly address and sending it back as undeliverable. we called the post office and they said everything is copacetic, but they'll talk to our mailman to make sure nothing is amiss. whatever. he'll probably throw everything away, now. or contract some deadly disease so that he could cough on it, or bleed on it, or something just to spread the contagion to us. if i come down with some exotic, rare disease like Tay-Sachs or SIDS or Tourette's, we'll know who's to blame.
