Book: Flowing in the Gossamer Fold, coming soon

There is a long story behind this, which I will document and discuss over the next several months, but the short version is that David Peak helped and encouraged me at various stages of gossamer's existence, shaping it into what it is today. I am excited to announce that my novel Flowing in the Gossamer Fold will be published later this year by Blue Square Press, a publishing company David Peak and I co-founded. Chi Birmingham will be designing the cover. We're looking at a late summer release.

I am excited out of my skin, bones, all of that.

Rest in Peace J.D. Salinger

Museum of Fucked around the web:

Dan Wickett said: "Warm Milk Printing Press sent me the copy of David Peak's chapbook, Museum of Fucked, that I'd ordered earlier in the week. Been reading too many great things about this one to not place an order."

From the idiom: "There’s a guilt in the grit, a sense of wanting better for the city, and at the same time a sense of powerlessness in the narrator’s ability to make anything any better for anyone—a feeling of disenfranchisement that puts the narrator on a similar level as those he’s observing. It is this that brings a sense of connection and fear throughout, a recognition that any of us could be any of the people exhibited in the museum—the crazies, the kids, the blind hype."
