waiting in my inbox today was a package from Liquid Paper Press with the newest issue of Nerve Cowboy (#21). unfortunately, i didn't get a submission sent in time to potentially have made this issue, but that only makes this issue that much stronger.
featured poets include this poet's life contributors Christopher Cunningham, Kathleen Paul-Flanagan, Luis Cuauhtemoc Berriozabal; great job guys, good work.
also included are great pieces by the likes of Henry Denander, Gerald Locklin, Karl Koweski, Rocking Chair Frank, and Nathan Graziano. all great stuff.
i've said it before and i'll say it again: Nerve Cowboy is the best poetry journal out there.
also in the package was a copy of Karl Koweski's 2nd place-finishing chapbook from the 2004 Nerve Cowboy Chapbook Contest, Casualty of the Industrial Revolution. i'm a big fan of Koweski's stuff and look forward to diving into this one.

here is colbert and greene. very good, but the quality is so so....
Greene is amazing. Brilliant man.
thanks for the post. have you read his books, CC? great stuff. you'd probably dig it.
I have not gotten my copy of Nerve Cowboy yet. Our mailman can't read or something. Everyone else always gets it before I do.
Anxiously stalking the mailman. :)
it's another great issue, Kat. and your poem was damn good.
i wish i'd gotten my arse into gear and submitted in time to have one in there, assuming, of couse, they liked what i sent. hopefully, i'll be in 22. maybe i'll send another sub this week to make it into 23.

Thanks, justin.
Wish I could see it!
Mail came...no Nerve Cowboy.
I'm going to kick the mailman hard tomorrow and call him Newman!
Justin:
I didn't get it either.
Did I get a drawing in or a poem?
Luis,
a drawing. did you get a poem accepted? i remember you lamenting about only getting drawings in. i knew it was only a matter of time...
I feel just as good when a get a drawing in as a poem. Not getting the poem in only means I have much room to improve & get better. I have only good vibes for Shields & Hagins over at Nerve Cowboy. Man, how could you go wrong, when they published Cunningham's chap... & other fine work.
well, i've faith you'll get in there. we've all work to do, we can always get better. this is a craft and as such we are craftsmen. we can always improve our abilities.
the guys over at Nerve do an amazing job with editing and selecting AND layout.
I finally got mine. Newman, the mailman, probably opened it and read it before he delivered it.
It is a good issue. As always!
:)
Wait, I forgot...Newman can't read!
yeah, it's a great issue.
i wonder why certain types seem to be drawn to certain jobs. assholes to being a cop. ignorant illiterates to being a mailman. handsome geniuses to being a poet.
weird.
