Number twleve in the ongoing process of typing up everything I’ve ever written down as a thing to do between writing poems. Get 10% off when you order a hopper this month: use the promo code JUNECONTEST10 at checkout.

Just go to the lulu page, order a hopper, and enter the code JUNECONTEST10 in the appropriate field at checkout.

I’ll be reading at DCAC again this month, this time by myself.

With an hour at my disposal, I think I can read the whole text of YOU CAN’T ENOUGH OF WHAT YOU REALLY DON’T NEED. Quite likely the only time this will ever happen.

That’s Sunday, June 21st, at 3:00 p.m. DCAC, 2438 18th St., N.W.

If you can’t make it, send a friend — they’ll thank you later.

The 11th and final installment of Chris Martin’s excellent online zine puppyflowers is available here. This issue includes great work from Dorothea Lasky, CA Conrad, Anselm Berrigan, Andy Hughes, and more. Twelve poems from “black peppermint” are included here.
