Hi all,
Sorry it’s been a while since you’ve heard from me! It’s been a crazy, busy month–lots of visitors in town, lots of going out of town…so no blogging. But, I’m back, and want to tell you about some exciting events coming up and some other new news.
I’ll be in NYC with my man from August 27th-September 2nd, and while I’m there, I’ll be doing a very special reading on the 31st at goodbye blue monday in Brooklyn. It’s the first time I’ll be reading a large section of my work in progress, prison-house, and I’ll also be collaborating with a talented friend of mine.
Stefanos Tsigrimanis (AKA animal nudity) will be accompanying me as I read prison-house (think noisy, noisy goodness). He’s one of my favorite people and a great musician. Here’s his info:
And here’s the info for goodbye blue monday:

As you can see on their calendar, we go on at 9 pm. I’ll also read from the book, and animal nudity will kick out some jams. I’m excited, and hope to see some old friends there!!!
In other news, I’ve started up a page at www.goodreads.com, a great site my friend recommended to me. This neat site allows you to keep track of what you’ve read, what you’re reading, and what you’re planning on reading. I’ll be writing book reviews, and it’s a great way to connect with your friends on the reading tip. If you’re interested, you’ll find me here:

Right now, I’m working on Adorno’s Negative Dialectics with my very brilliant friend Greg. We meet every Sunday and discuss a section of the book we’ve read. It’s difficult material, and slow going, but really exciting stuff (and really relevant to prison-house). I’m also beginning to put together applications for Creative Writing MFA programs across the country, and am hoping, next year, to get paid to write for a few years. I’ll keep you all posted on how it goes!
Well, see you East Coast folks soon!
