And it features reviews of two CDs —

“Live at Beyond Baroque 2” from EM Press, featuring Patricia Smith, Saul Williams, Regie Gibson, johnnyappledog, Viggo Mortenson, et al;

“Macaca Fuscata Autodidact” by RC Weslowski ( monkeypudding). (Love that butterfly sex!)

It also contains a short rant about how I generally dislike poetry on CD. I contradict myself, I embrace multitudes.

Please, visit here to read these nuggets of wisdom.

Picked up the new book tonight…it looks hot. Thank you, thisrabbit, as always.

pinata, your blurb graces the back cover. Thank you again.

I’ll be getting addresses from the blurbers shortly to send along your copies. If you wanna hit me backchannel, it’s chrysler.poet@verizon.net.

Other good news: They’ve lowered my Prozac dosage to 20 mg every three days now.

And, most important, I’m off Seroquel entirely. YAY!!!!

I hated that drug.

Will check in before the feature on sunday. Come if you can.

I’ll be featuring at the Java Hut, the Poets’ Asylum, home of the Worcester Slam, my second home, Worcester’s very own, on Sunday night.

I’ll be releasing my new (old) book, poet., Vol.1 of a two volume set of greatest hits from the last twenty years, thanks to Doublebunny Press.

Tell you what — it’s gonna be a night of old school. I’m putting the slam stuff to bed — maybe not permanently, but somewhat finally and with bittersweet regrets and cheer.

Come play.
