THE FUTURE, ALWAYS ARRIVING TOO LATE

 


Also, working on putting together something new to publish thru Lulu.  Been almost 4 years since my last explosion of chaos and bitter invective, so why not?

 

Shorter pieces, I’m thinking this time.  Little nuggets of joy and ecstasy to snack on when yr feeling blue.

YOU LUCKY FUCKING BASTARDS

 


I like Lulu, don’t get me wrong.  An awesome place to design your own books, when the mood strikes.  Try to sell them for a profit, tho, and beware - you will lose most everything you make come tax time even if, like me, you’re a poet and no one really gives a shit about spending money on your inane ramblings.

 

Still, though, for all of you brave souls out there, my loss is your gain.  All of my Lulu work (my Lulupalooza if you will - and fuck you if you won’t) is now on sale at the site AT COST.  No outrageous markups, just whatever Lulu decides is the bare minimum it can sell these things at.

 

AND……….

 

(and I know, you’re thinking Holy Christ, John!  There’s more??!!  And yes, there is, and if you’d just shut up for a minute I’ll tell you about it, okay?  Okay.)

 

AND……….

 

In a fit of artistic insanity, I’ve decided to try out their matte covers, having had some success with the style for one of my previous collections that got published by AN ACTUAL POETRY PRESS.  And that still didn’t pay anything, because that’s life.

 

So, in summation - do yourself a favor, buy some dirt cheap kick-ass poetry in attractive bindings.  If, however, matte covers make you vomit with rage, just shoot me a note.  I have some copies of most of the titles in shiny cover format, also at rock bottom prices.

 

So what are you waiting for?

Thanks to Anna Merlan and Mack Lamoureux for this 

awesome roll call of Trump supporters.

You all suck dog ass.

GOOD FUN FOR HAPPY DROOGS

 

                                                                  The Lulu Collection


Maybe something new here this year?

 

Hopefully.

 

The plague totally fucked up a lot of publishing schedules,

both for the ‘zines and the bookbinders.

 

I’m still writing, but am

out of shape when it comes to submitting work.

 

Gotta start typing up what’s in my notebooks,

get back into some sort of shape.
