and on the first page there, on the site, you see one poem about the quantum paper wad theory, as a teaser toward the chapbook itself. The Fabulist, which has more regular online issues, now has its second print issue. My story is in that. Their site keeps you up to date on where you may see them in person in the Bay Area. You can order the Fabulist for 10 dollars, and it has wild art too!
As you may know I instigated a genre called Lucid Fiction and many wonderful writers have taken an interest in this, as well as editors. Jennifer Bowles, of Medulla Review, is a kindred spirit, and decided she wanted to devote an issue of her magazine to Lucid Fiction, as well as prosetry. And she asked me to co-edit it. So, the new issue is out, for you to enjoy.
And in it is a call for new work for the upcoming issue. I described what Lucid FIction is on the home page and the submissions page and also there is a list of links of some of the articles and interviews on the subject. This is exciting to me, taking this visionary genre of consciousness exploration and social change, breaking new literary ground, to a new level. You can listen to me read them, just plain at home if you want, or doing something, like cleaning up, working out at home, driving, if you know the way well, or whatever you want to do. I hope you enjoy the heck out of them. HERE they are.
The rollicking and bizarro story, Frogs is in the current issue of Sein und Werden.
The frog was splayed after its operation in the science lab, but not forsaken. He knew that his wife still loved him, even though he was in an advanced state of dissection. "Oooooo, Mdntf, let's hide under the table and touch tongues," she said one day during a family gathering to discuss the answers to the dilemmas facing frogdom. It was a difficult time for family unity, because frogs were being rounded up left and right to be taken to the labs. And it had been several months since any frogs had fallen from the sky to replace them. Special agent frogs, they were, the Forte Team. The playful Bringing a New Poet into Your Home is now up at Gone Lawn Magazine, issue 3.
Your new poet's poetic style, sensitivity, affiliation with publishers from guerilla to grant-funded, and level of success with the opposite sex at open mic readings should determine the methods you use to introduce him or her. You might have an easygoing academic poet who can mix with any writer wearing tweed, but a high-strung spoken word poet who thinks he is a musician may be another matter entirely. In fact, check out my art on the cover of issue 2 and the intense Breaking the Seal story in issue 1. #Report Readout att: Subjects Discovering Project Underground:Implantation Adjustment As recorded from the brain of Kundra, Atlanta, Georgia, Earth, Hybrid Helicopter zone 13.# My flash fiction story, Mama, is published at In Between Altered States.
“I’m not.” Her head flies off in anger, zooming across the room, getting smaller optically as it goes. Then, it jolts back, flying onto her neck, but overshooting, not attached aligned with it, but off-center. It hasn’t regained its regular size. My lucid fiction story, Out from the Center is published today at Cezanne's Carrot Magazine. Everything about it is unlike the usual story formula, to question our ideas of what we are, what life is.
The art above is from the magazine, great choice. |
