In about 31 minutes, I’ll be one of the readers at Unsolicited Press’s Literary Nights series.
Tune in here!
I’ve just sent out the next issue of my newsletter. Subscribe if you’d like, or just prowl the archives. Most issues aren’t terribly informative, and I’m almost never as funny as I think I am.

Parmenides in Minneapolis in St Paul.
Had I been born about sixteen minutes earlier, Walden and I would have shared a birthday.

Volume 8 of my newsletter: incoming!
My book, Vessels, will not come out until right before the southern Summer solstice.
But today, just after the northern Summer solstice, it is now available for preorder.
And will you look at that cover.
102: Signs of Spring (Quaker Ladies)
103: Kraft Plus (Berry)
Tonight at 7:30 (in about 6 hours), I’m one of the readers at Literary Nights, hosted by my publisher, Unsolicited Press.
I’ll be reading from Vessels, and I promise to be as inarticulate, bristly, & stand-offish as you’ve come to expect. It should be an extremely awkward trainwreck of an evening!
Now playing:
Five poems of mine just appeared this morning at talking about strawberries all of the time. Many thanks to Malcolm Curtis for giving them a home.
(One of them had already been rejected twenty-five times. Is it weird that I was secretly disappointed that I’d finally broken that streak?)
Another bookmark has turned up. Curiously, this bookstore has the same address as Blue Whale. Now, I’ve only been to Charlottesville once. Google Maps says Blue Whale is there now, so I must have visited when it was still Seanchai and the Blue Whale came to me later, tucked inside a used book.
Now playing:

Last week, I finally made it to Subtext Books in downtown St Paul for the first time. Absolutely one of the best bookstores I’ve ever been to.
