Grateful to have a strange little poem in the latest edition of Buffalox8. The poem is a loose tautogram (most words begin with 'd') in which all of the 'd' words were sourced from a local newspaper. @buffalomag.bsky.social buffalojournal.tumblr.com/post/8017048...

Details disturb, so I’ll donate this day to a dozen dramas. Death doesn’t disturb the doing done by those drawn to duty. Damage—deliberate, direct. I’ll demonstrate with departure, not dinner. A...

DISINTEGRATION DELUXE! Today is the six month anniversary of our first release! To celebrate, we're releasing a digital edition for the very first time

🎨 Feat. 20 additional poems & illustrations (as well as a remixed red cover), this one’s for the superfans who need more Kiik
deluxe version with the red cover about the author Kiik Araki-Kawaguchi’s work has been translated into sixteen languages. Kiik performed the translations though he has never been able to learn a foreign language and is mildly illiterate in English. The translations exist as conjectures of what Kiik’s voice might do if he was a Swedish, a Chinese, etc. As a result the Swedish and Chinese work is very clever. A literary critic once wrote Kiik please stay out of my garden I need those vegetables to make soup. In his pocket the locks of twelve children. Doused and scoured using twelve emulsions. Milky swampy perfumed. In his garden a row of twelve scalped turnips. Pale ghost riders. Paw of snowmelt resting on its heart of mud. on thursday we made love Upon dead camellia blooms Caterpillars fell from the foxglove Stuck spines in us as we rolled through I saw your neighbors in their window above Holding those rosemallows they rescued I burned every sweet thing in the oven Twice yikes I was thinking about you you're still here? really? with the lights out and everything? ok...

a prose poem of mine in the newest issue of Water~Stone Review
Dada After we measured your belly and declared it the largest, you became our family's father. Largest Dada, our new great papa. We had a party to mark the day as celebration. You didn't wear a shirt. You weren't allowed. You had to stand still at the Dada Party so that guests could measure your depths. All guests arrived with dying in their mouths. To pay you respect, some wore pillows in their shirts. Others packed balloons to let you know that you were the new father of our family. Near dawn, we stuck out our guts for as long as we could, expanding and expanding as we gathered more cheers. You are here with us now. Our dear Dada, long papa, new dad. Your stomach is thunderous. We trust it will help.

I am pretty stoked to be on this list! Nelson Ball (1942-2019) seems to have been quite a lovely person and generous poet; being listed here is like the next best thing to meeting him (for us who missed that chance)

Two of our marvellous poets have been recognized on the Nelson Ball Prize longlist:
Margaret Christakos, THAT AUDIBLE SLIPPAGE
Dawn Macdonald, NORTHERNY
Congratulations to all!
