Visual poem in H&
Visual poetry blog H& features a wide variety of image based poems and pseudo-textual experiments. Yesterday, a video still from “Succubus Highway” was posted to the site. You can see the image here. The image includes text veering into asemic territory due to heavy video processing, but the original words read “Wherever there are ruins/lies like flames/dance across time.”
The video itself can be viewed here.
“My Pretties” in Danse Macabre du Jour
Online journal Danse Macabre du Jour presents dark and strange literature in a blend of obscure classics and contemporary works. Today, it published my poem “My Pretties.” This one conjures familiars to carry on ecoterrorist schemes of spreading seeds in areas dominated by civilization. You can read it here.
“Rabbit Money Tree” goes live on In Between Hangovers
Outlaw poetry blog In Between Hangovers releases several new poems every day. Today, one of its offerings is my poem “Rabbit Money Tree.” It features a trickster rabbit character–based more on the Mayan idea of such a creature than Bugs Bunny–that I used in a few pieces. In this one, Rabbit robs a bank; he’s always getting into some antisocial mischief. You can read it here.
“All Those Zimbabwes” in Futures Trading
The issue 5.2 of Futures Trading was released August 16. It includes my poem “All Those Zimbabwes,” part of a series based on various lost civilizations. Under the current U.S. regime, it seems important to examine the fragility of languages, cultures and nations. This one starts with the ancient kingdom of Zimbabwe, which left many cities in ruins, each of them apparently called “Zimbabwe.” You can read it here.
