things i can do without (cont'd)

people incapable of empathy or compassion,
     or too blinded by ideology to attempt either
people who put no value in scientific findings

olympic sports that include the words synchronized,

     equestrian, or rhythmic.

commercials that "gospel" or "hip hop" up the jingle

     because black people are featured in it

people who are proud of being ignorant

arrogant, overpaid, overwhelmingly inept CEOs

hockey

racists

nepotism and cronyism

people who've worked at a company for years, have sent

     hundreds of faxes, even, and still fuck it up each

     and every time they touch the damn machine

fascism

Nowhere, Utah

my latest chapbook from Propaganda Press, titled Nowhere, Utah, is now available for $3 (plus $1 for shipping; $2 overseas). you can order online above, or send a check or money order to the address posted on their website.

Nowhere, Utah is a mini-chapbook. #5 in their Pocket Protector Series. it's only "mini" by size, not in quality. and there are 64 pages. not a bad price for that much poetry.

my other chapbook, [untitled], by Propaganda Press is also still available if you haven't ordered it, yet. 60 pages. $7.

support the small press and your favorite local poet!

i received in the mail today a copy of Cunningham's newest offering, a chapbook from Propaganda Press, titled A Sound to Drive Away the Coming Darkness. it's a fabulous book serving up a heaping serving of what we've come to expect from Cunningham: straight-up wordsmithing. wonderful poems in a beautiful, little chapbook. great cover photo by Cunningham's better half.

also, my broadside, Marriage, As Still Life, is available from 10pt Press. it's going for $5 and is so gorgeous it'll make you weep. [disclaimer: weeping isn't guaranteed.] below is the announcement poster Sean at 10pt Press whipped up:

this thing is truly suitable for framing. it's an art object and will look phenomenal on your wall. Sean is a master designer and makes the poem sing! for $5, it's a steal. they're going fast, so jump on this while they're still available!
