Poem in Best of Mad Swirl Anthology #8

Recently received a nice email from Mad Swirl literary magazine announcing that my poem “Free Trip” will be included in their annual Best of Mad Swirl anthology for 2024. This anthology will present the best of 2024’s works posted on MadSwirl.com: art (4 artists, the best of each quarter), short stories (12 stories, the best of each month), and poetry (52 poems, the best of each week). The anthology is issued in print and digital versions; these have yet to be released, so stay tuned!

Video published in Ranger magazine #9

Ranger literary magazine released two issues this winter (!). I had poetry in issue #8. In issue #9, one of my glitch videos is included “That’s Edutainment.” Possibly could be filed under “video poetry”? You can check it out here. The video features music from Hearasay in Paradox Lust, a project which has a brand new Bandcamp page here.

Ranger literary magazine picks up where Angry Old Man (aka, Son of Angry Old Man) left off. It picks up the avant garde literary baton recently passed on by the now defunct Otoliths. Highly recommended.

Poems published in Ranger #7

A literary magazine for extreme experimental work, Ranger #7 was recently issued in September (alongside issue #6). Large eclectic roundup of interesting text, visual, video and musical work. I’m pleased to be represented in this issue by ten poems: “brass spittoons once so public,” “when you’re looking for answers,” “You’re trying to make, even if it’s just to have,” “There’s this way,” “tandem align,” “spatter. bits,” “Wooden Lightbulb,” “mass calculus,” “obligation,” and “window on the world to nowhere.” You can read them here.

Music video “Technobabylon” published in Ranger magazine

Ranger literary magazine released Issue #6 last month featuring a wide array of experimental text, visuals, video and music. I’m pleased to be represented with a glitch video with music by Hearasay in Paradox Lust, which includes “asemic” vocalizations. You can watch it here.

“The Joys of Serf Culture” published in 13 Miles from Cleveland

My poem “The Joys of Serf Culture” was published in 13 Miles from Cleveland literary magazine, Volume 6 Number 1 for 2024. I’m a bit behind in posting, as this was released in January. You can read the full poem here, just scroll down a bit. Lots of interesting Vispo and text work from familiar and unfamiliar names.

This is actually a reprint, the poem first appearing in Mad Swirl on April 24, 2021. I’m pleased to see it getting new life.

Text and video published in Ranger magazine

Ranger Magazine #4 was released in January 2024 featuring a wide array of experimental work in many formats. I’m pleased to be represented with two videos and six poems. The videos are “Tiger Song” and “ET ABC,” both featuring asemic language imagery and asemic vocals in the electronic soundtrack by Hearasay in Paradox Lust. The poems are “baiting,” “better get,” “whether tube or tunnel,” “we must,” “pointers pointing,” and “way out.” You can view the videos here and the poems here.

Video, vispo and text published in Ranger

Ranger is a new literary magazine focusing on experimental text, visual and hybrid work from the editor of the defunct Angry Old Man journal. Ranger #2 was released on August 3, filled with experiments of all kinds. Witness the contents here. I’m pleased to be represented by a portfolio of new work including video, video stills/vispo, and text pieces.

My video “Phantom Broadcast” features asemic visual elements and an electronic soundtrack that includes asemic vocalizations. I pulled 20 stills from the video to demonstrate the asemic text. You can view this stuff here.

There are also seven text pieces, including “can’t go back,” “Good Times,” “It’s down to this,” “collect afraid,” “A Resource,” “There goes another angel,” and “Click the topic to access a collection of images.” You can read them here.
