Get to the nearest phone booth and call yo mama. Whatever you do, don't tell her you're going to a poetry reading. Definitely don't tell her that you're going to Studio One to see William Moor and Daphne Gottlieb with Jack Morgan as MC. She will be afraid for your welfare and cry if she found out the truth.

Sometimes I think that I am the least knowledgeable of my friends when it comes to music because I lack the encyclopedic memory necessary to call up facts about drummers from obscure hipster bands, but I have to say that, as surprising as it may seem, I am way ahead of a lot of people I know on Podington Bear. Podington Bear is a guy named Chad who lives in Portland. That's about as much as anyone knows, and even that is pretty newsworthy, as he has kept his identity shielded for a very... Read Full Story

They need someone who speaks a bunch of languages. C'est moi! Das bin ich! ¡Lo soy! Boku wa so desu! They need... Read Full Story
This is for Brooklyn Copeland in Minnesota and all the Thylacines we lost in the fires of 1906. It wasn't fit for man or beast. The smell of burning rubber on Australia's loneliest highways filled my nostrils, and it hit me: I Am the Last Marsupial Wolf. So I wrote this poem. It's been many years since I was in Australia, but I'll never forget what I never saw. Read Full Story
I invented the most bad ass emoticon. It's a skull because I don't have a skull ring anymore, and Tony Creed won't give me one for free even though I totally put him in the first Murdercycle. I think poor celebrities should get more free things. Anyway, I invented the skull ring for the digital age. Someday Google will call me and ask me if they can incorporate it into their smileys on their Google Talk, and I will say, "yes of course, Google, I love you so much that you can have my skull...

Judith Goldman's book is one of my favorite books of poetry because of a poem in it called "Procedures" and because Judith Goldman has always been nice to me. "Procedures" is a hard poem to describe.
