Stephen Morse Interviewed

ok. well, if you haven't heard me whispering about the Stephen Morse project then here goes.

it's a 12 poem collection packed into a cigar box. the size of the matter has obvious limitations/gave me another reason to do some groovy stuff with the pomes. the matchbook poem was an easy addition. i think my favorite little piece is the swisher sweet mini-book i came up with.

i'll talk about it all more later. right now, i have to send stephen his crow box. oh, the title of this piece is "Accidental Hell" and it's fucking awesome.

till later, check out his interview at What to Wear During an Orange Alert.
peace out, yo.;)chele

Insider News

ssshhhhhh. quiet.
i have insider news. next online issue of Red Fez(that's issue #20) will have the entire "Game Quest" novel by Leopold McGinnis.! yeah. that's right! crazy, huh? we're slowly but surely adding to our list of novels and plays.

BUT WAIT!

you don't have to sit there staring at a blank screen until Fez #20 is up and running.
nope.

...

Game Quest, the novel by Leopold McGinnis is online and Free for your reading pleasure! Every friggin chapter (and there are a lot!) are up there for
you or whoever to read. http://www.redfez.net/leopold/store/Game_Quest/read.php


If you like Pold's stuff, like his general world view, like olde-timey
computer games, like comedic novels (with a touch of social commentary!)
then please check it out! And if you like it, please tell your friends.

I highly recommend it. and, if you have a few bucks around... pick up the novella, The Red Fez. it's awesome! if you're a seriously poor bastard, throw a buck at it and get yourself a Funky French Fold. It can't be beat.


THANKS!

APA Centauri

sometimes it seems like everything i read is online. fuck the library. if i actually want a book they might carry, i might just as well spend the few dollars i would spend in gas and buy a just as good as new used copy from amazon. though the case is, when buying print, i usually spend my bucks elsewhere. that’s another blog.

see, i recently joined this group called the APA Centauri. don’t know what an APA is? looky here- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amateur_press_association . Besides the money you keep in the general account to cover shipping... which i say- just doesn’t count. I mean, it’s like maybe 2 bucks a mailing, if that. The only money you’re putting into this is the copies you’ll need to send the Central Mailer of your contribution for each mailing.

This last APA, man... I felt like I was stealing. It was fat with awesomeness. I couldn’t tell you the exact content though, cause after I sat with it for a couple days i sent it on to another fellow who sends me his most fabulous free chaps from time to time. Calliope Nerve was in there... Non-Creative Garbage.. a new zine by Ariel Lee, a regular contributor to Calliope. oh, that one was the best, i think.

now that i have rattled on and i’m sure it didn’t make a bit of sense. here’s where you can read more about the APA Centauri and Calliope Nerve if you were so inclined.... http://nobius.blogspot.com
and, here- http://sejdb.freeshell.org/ncg/index.html is Non Creative Garbage

Monkey Bars
by Michele McDannold

Isn’t it just a bit usual these days
to be talking shit fuck?
I was reading this novel by this great
guy ‘so and so’, oh, it was only a few
years back, and it actually said
shit fuck. shit fuck.
then later on when I was reading some
other stuff–
poetry and the like, well ... and I had really
already noticed lots of cunts for some reason.
I’ve never really cared for that word, and don’t use it
myself
but back to shit fuck.
it’s losing power these days
you know, it used to turn heads
but even my mother doesn’t flinch anymore, when I let it slip
...fucking shit.
it started for me on the playground, a game.
with Tracey, the toughest girl in town I wanted to be.
and Jeff, the dirtiest boy I wanted,
even in Grade 3.
man, don’t tell me you’re not born with it.
so, I learned all my shit fuck bastard piss
on the monkey bars
but I never really perfected it until the year I worked in that
slaughterhouse, I was nineteen and desperate.
everyone there was desperate,
shit fuck became-- I ain’t takin’ no fuckin’ shit
piss off, bitch
suck my dick
and it became an art form...and second nature.
I know at times you gotta keep it in check
and I do try to tone it down
but damnit, it’s sewn deep.
and when people keep talking shit fuck shit fuck,
I hate to hear others say it sounds cheap,
`cause baby, it comes at a price.
