News of 2 news from Lame House Press

Firstly, get you some of dis Alli Warren poetry, namely Cousins, which will spin you right round. I am a fan of Alli's poetry here & here (a whole 'lectronic bookish object made of light & dots) & here, below, from her chapbook Hounds of the year 2005, which I am lucky to prick myself on whenever I want because when it came out I didn't mess around. (Yes, that is a prediction about the future.)

To Those That Would Deny Poetry

Into canons we
are stuffed into duffel
bags, toolbelts
      Physicists proclaim
logic--that's a business suit but what
does it mean? What
Benefit of Clergy
--brackets of a car
are brakes of wind
much like the bee's mother
and myth

      After thoroughgoing
      investigation it has been
determined A lot of you
elks are shoe leather
      Or, Go You Graphs of Trade
as if you spoke "good
English," "I understand"
your tired scripts your
full-daggered throats
      arming units
for what's called perpetual
      war Call us
what you will
what is willed is
half-deceiving yet
trope of the eyes
      fire under foot

She will poison you (in a good way), but with words not a little vial which is actually a cameraphone. Perhaps pointing to her previous work is misleading, you think. No, even if this book has entirely diff stuff disimilar in feeling execution I am leading you to the right place, which is wherever Alli's poems perch. Anyway I ordered mine. Here is where you click to become happier than you currently are.

Additionally, you should be tempted by this sample from the also brand new Harmstorm by Karl Parker, of whom I do not know otherwise at all, & so place in the exciting & always shivering-quivering category of JUST DISCOVERED. What a batch. (Go, Gina.)

Lame House Press: Gina Myers' DIY press offers a new chapbook by Michael Sikkema, Code Over Code, which Norma Cole praises as "a whole rhythmic life, then another life, or a part, of an elemental past, present and future you want to read, 'because division is how one gets here.'" Order info here, & watch that space for two more upcoming titles, by Karl Parker & Alli Warren.

Ugly Duckling: The duck goes quack . . . & I can't keep up. Please take a peek at their announcements page, which highlights new releases, reviews & events. They're very busy over there.

Bear Parade: Tao Lin's new chapbook Today The Sky is Blue and White with Bright Blue Spots and a Small Pale Moon and I Will Destroy Our Relationship Today appears in the new issue, along with work by Matthew Rohrer, Ellen Kennedy, Micheal Earl Craig & Noah Cicero. Clicky.

absent: From Simon DeDeo (whose reviews you know you read at Rhubarb Is Susan) comes the word that this new magazine will launch in December 2006 and is currently calling for submissions:

We are seeking innovative, tradition-defying work in multiple genres: poetry, microfiction, and essays on topics poetical, cultural and political. Work of uncategorized form is also of interest--please query.

Our guidelines provide information on how to submit.

The absent board : Simon DeDeo (poetry) works in Chicago, where he edits the blog-journal Rhubarb Is Susan; Elisa Gabbert (poetry) lives in Boston where she aids Ploughshares; Joanna Guldi (essays) is a historian and political activist in San Francisco; additional board members TBA.

& finally, what could be better than free poetry? Josh Hanson has posted his latest PDF chapbook Mix Tape on his LiveJournal profile page here for your perusing pleasure (along with two earlier PDF collections). Rock.

I've also got a new stack of colorful goodies here on my desk that I hope to get through soon, to do some more mini reviews & ecstatic pointing, my favorite kind. Maureen Thorson's new tinysides sold out before I had a chance to get them up, for instance, but that doesn't mean you can't still get a peek at them via a review. And I've been gifted with new stuff from Sean Casey too, among others. (Thanks, y'all!)

One final announcement re: my own Half Empty/Half Full: I am pushing back the release of A Slice of Cherry Pie by a few weeks, in order to coordinate better with Ivy's Private Press UK release, so we can release simultaneously. Thanks for your preorders--the hand-stitched first edition is about half sold out already! Expect copies in late September or early October.

Joe Massey notes Hazel McClure's Nothing Moving . . .

. . . with an excerpt, over here.

Reminder: you can get it from Gina at Lame House.

New from Lame House Press: Hazel McClure's Nothing Moving

Lame House Press editor/publisher Gina Myers announces the availability of their second chapbook, Nothing Moving by Hazel McClure.

"How we come to see ourselves. Glass, ice, sun, lines of water on a steamed-over window. 'The child sees a story in the lines, sings this word, that name.' How we come to say ourselves and where we are. 'Noun echoes pine.' The chest and the heart inside it, 'chest cracks open / as a seed.' I recognize home in this book of poems: the comings and goings of meaning (as if through the window that we keep returning to), the constant translation of body to spirit to world to body to word. The person speaking is someone I believe. And 'she looks straight / into the camera / as if she knows me'. " --Kate Greenstreet
