my buddy Glenn W. Cooper appears in the recently released International Issue of the journal Poesy, where not only are his poems featured, but a wonderful interview. Glenn is an amazing poet living in a cultural island and continent wasteland in the middle of the Pacific.
this is Glenn's 4th interview (2nd in print) and i am so proud of -- and happy for -- him.
and thank you, Glenn, for the plugs for my own work; you're the tits.

Yes ... dominating the small press like Australia is dominating world baseball. ;)
But thanks!
ha....funny.
i still say you're dominating it. if you're not, then what the hell am i doing? i've only had 1 interview in a small, now-defunct online journal. and it was a terrible one at that.
i always knew you'd make it big...you're almost there, bro! :)
Didn't you have interviews in Babel and Open Wide? That makes two!
*sniffs dejectedly*
cc: I've never been interviewed...
el c, b: why is that?
cc: I guess I'm an asshole.
el c, b: indeed.
cc: well, fuck you.
el c, b: see?
cc: but I still think glenn cooper is great.
el c, b: who cares what you think?
cc: me. and my dog.
el c, b: well, we can agree that justin.barrett is a twisted savage freak in need of a thorough hosing down with extra strength mace, right?
cc: right.
i think being a poet from Australia affords me a certain "freak" status.
well, we've got some mace for you too, you aussie freak.
we'll send someone round with a big can and a horsewhip, to make you feel loved.
Reminds me of a joke:
Why does Mike Tyson cry when he has sex?
It's the mace.
Glenn,
The Mike Tyson joke made me laugh. Mr. Cunningham, maybe someone can interview soon....Maybe? ;)
And justin, I remember the Open Wide Interview clearly. It was good.
damn glenn tha's some funny shiz.
he's my "Poet Creature," a foul beast made of swinish entrails and venom, with a rotten heart and a temper like a diseased wolverine.
he is Pure Sickness and should be stomped and chain whipped if he crosses you.
I keep him around solely to justify my own cruel existence.
glenn-
nope, only interviewed once in Babel...no dice on the Open Wide one...
sorry, CC, but i can interview you if you'd like:
1) what's it like not ever being interviewed before?
2) why do you think you have never been interviewed before?
3) what's your favorite ______ ?
4) does it bother you that you've never been interviewed in the past, and that you're likely never to be interviewed again after this one?
:)
el bastardo is a bastard. i hate him.
thanks j.b:
1: greasy. I feel strangely greasy.
2: see #1 above.
3: my favorite ____ is _____, but I also enjoy _____ during the winter months, as long as it's been properly serviced.
4: it's starting to bother me, motherfucker...why are you asking me all these questions? you work for the NSA or something? is that a black SUV? what's that noise?
*sprints into the woods*
i stand corrected. thanks, Casey. apparently i was interviewed by Open Wide as well. i don't remember it; but that's most likely because i listed C. Allen Rearick as a person i was currently reading and i wanted to erase that blunder from my memory.
bah....
great answers, Chris. you're a responsive and enjoyable interviewee. i have no idea why you don't get interviewed more. granted, the interviewer has to shower to get that greasiness off of him, but still...
Thanks, Casey, I KNEW he'd been interviewed in Open Wide!
