“This next one is a love poem. Do you any of you like love?”
– Zachary Schomburg’s between-poem banter earlier tonight. (Michael Dickman won the reading, but not by much. Yes, all readings have winners. Obviously.)

"Etiquette for the Enduring Guest" on DIAGRAM →
My good buddy & second-favorite native Hoosier (behind Michael, but ahead of Axl), Ms. Julia Story, had a great book review of her first collection of poems, Post Moxie, go up on Diagram today. Below the review is what has to be one of the most perfectly tailored interviews ever conducted. If you know Julie or Post Moxie at all, you can hear the smiling in this: Kim: Describe the posture of...

Hi Dad, I’m just gonna take a stab in the dark here and say that something nefarious is afoot in your inbox. Either that or you’ve uncharacteristically gotten into openly talking about your porn interests since I’ve moved. Either way, I think an intervention is in order. Love, Dan

I've never done this before:
Because all of my imaginary stalkers are lazier than I am, here’s a few other places you can find me if you feel so inclined: Facebook Last.fm Rdio Words/Hanging with Friends: damndanm Carcassonne: I play the iOS version of this game more than is healthy or reasonable, especially considering I only moderately enjoy the tabletop version. Anyway, I think you need to email me (cursor over...

I live in Oregon now and other stuff as well.
I’ve lived here for about ten days or so. I’m also working full time again for the first time since before my wife did that magic trick where she pulled a kid out of her vajunglegym. Anyway, I’ve been absent from this particular sidewalk for a bit and thought I’d make words happen. But because I still don’t feel settled or that I have the energy to find the narrative...

F**K Yeah Rhode Island →
mondofacture: *Gasp!* An obscenity! Nobody’s actually offended by those anymore, right? Thank the Almighty Father (Quetzalcoatl) for that, because I am not here to talk about swear words. I am here, in this cyberplace, to talk about Rhode Island. Rhode Island is my home state. But if you read my *WANTED* poster in your local post office, you already knew that. I guess you also know about all...

Things
I have spent many hours these last few days in a hospital hospice room holding my grandfather’s hand. After several months of falls, a move to a nursing home, and increasing dementia, he’s now got pneumonia and no fight left. He is nearly 88. He had a good life. This is not a tragedy. Still. I sat in a near-dark room last night with my older sister, the ignored television murmuring...

First person POV video of a gunfight in... →
The last two of my five years in high school were spent in boarding school. During that time, my best friend was a guy named Mike Gannon. We remained close through college. My first year of graduate school, he showed up unexpectedly at my front door on a Tuesday night. He’d driven with no money to Indiana from North Carolina, where he’d been on a bender for several weeks. It had...
