While I fail miserably at blogging due to insane schedules, spring breaks, travels, and especially due to exhibit prep and installation (see photobucket shots of Simultaneous Contrast and others in the DIS/ARMING DOMESTICITY exhibit up in Wallingford, PA until April 23rd, see also the facebook page)… there is a lot going on out there, namely by some friends of mine. Here’s the list of awesomeness:

Upcoming:

Cheryl’s Gone – THURSDAY, March 18th featuring Susan Tichy, Sergio Waisman, and Will Schutt

Joe Hall‘s first book of poems Pigafetta Is My Wife on pre-order from Black Ocean

Recently Released:

Danika Stegeman and Joe Hall featured in the recent Noo

At present:

Emily Viggiano has an excerpted Trajectory up on the recent DIAGRAM 10.1

Nancy Naomi Carlson, honorable mention in last year’s Greg Grummer contest at Phoebe, has her latest, a book of translations called Stone Lyre: Poems of René Char out from Tupelo Press

If I’ve succeeded in getting you to these wonderful poets, than this post has succeeded. Back the usual musings soon (I hope!)

Trajectory (n): from the Latin traiectus, past participle of the verb traicere. / “Thrown across, thrown over.”

The new DIAGRAM is out (10th Anniversary!) and it features my good friend Emily Viggiano Saland, with excerpts from her verse biography of Evel Knievel. It’s AH-Mazin. Check it out. It also features a bad-ass collaboration between Blake Butler and Davis Schneiderman, and the hybrid essay contest winner, Cheyenne Nimes. I love this journal, you should, too.

Emily's poems got diagrams in them. Awesome. So fitting.
