When you’re sitting around during the next few weeks wondering what to do with the Amazon gift cards you may or may not be receiving from your loved ones and precious allies, consider picking up my 2012 releases from the Books section of Amazon.com. Click HERE to see what titles of mine are available through their catalog.
Small reminder that my book Baby Teeth is still for sale. You can find it here if you’re so inclined. It’s been very popular with older male professors and girls in their mid-twenties who drink heavily.
JDK & JRL: The Mixtape Series (MixtapeBooks.com)
Reading about reading in the tub, while I’m in the tub. Deep shit.
“The Official U.S. time is: 00:21:47” - A spontaneously-written digital chapbook
I wanted to do an exercise in efficiency, so I spent the last twenty minutes or so putting together a very spontaneous chapbook. I am going to be posting the poems individually over the next while, but you can download them all in a digital chapbook if you wish. Click here to begin the download.
Each poem is titled the time that I began writing it.
If you don’t want to download it now, you can pick it up in the future by visiting the BOOKS section of my site and scrolling on down the page to the “Digital” section.

Leaving Frost Upon the Walls now on Amazon
Leaving Frost Upon the Walls is a thirty-nine page poem covering the life of a young couple through a slightly schizophrenic viewpoint. The styling is a unique offering, as I have never before invested myself into a poem of such a length, and most likely never will again. You can pick yourself up a copy now via Amazon for a nice price. I advise you do so seeing as how it’s National Poetry Month and all that.
Reminder # 3
So the redundant reminder of competition-related activities.
It’s basically to celebrate my birthday (which already happened, or is still happening depending on how you view the midnight hour).
If you want to know more about it, click here to read the original posting.
It’s all over Friday.
Get on it.
Reminder # 2
There’s a bit of a competition going on. It started yesterday. It’s basically to celebrate my birthday (which is tomorrow).

This past week
…has been entirely made out of hysteria. Both I and the lady have been beat senselessly by some abnormally-super-powered cold. Today is the first day since Tuesday I’ve felt remotely normal, and by remotely normal I’m exaggerating a bit.
I just wanted to remind everyone that there are a few more days left to the Translating The Avenues contest. The contest ends on Tuesday January 24th at 8:00PM EST. The rules function the same as the Leaving Frost… one. All you do is “like” the Facebook page for it and you’re entered (click here), and you can double your chances by “liking” my Facebook page as well (click here). If you’ve already done one or both at some point in time, you’re already entered.
I’m going to spend the remainder of the evening trying to feel a bit more alive. Maybe it’ll work out alright and maybe it won’t. Either way there is the promise of Nyquil sleep, which is always nice if one is miserably ill and overly-stressed.
The best to you as the night goes by.
Day 2
Just pointing out that this is day 2 of the Translating The Avenues contest. Here’s the announcement that ran yesterday in case you missed it:
“So with the Leaving Frost Upon the Walls contest behind us now, I became inspired to further spread the contest spirit. For those who are interested, there is now a contest open for Translating The Avenues, my debut collection of poetry. The copy up for grabs is one of the original printings, with the green front and back cover. This edition of the book is no longer available to the public. Like the current edition, this copy spans 158 pages and is divided up into 5 sections. It’s a compilation of poems from a nearly two year span.
Just like the previous contest, the entry aspect is very simple. All you have to do is go to the Facebook page for the book and give it a “like” (click here)
And just like before, you can also double your entry by giving my original Facebook page a “like” as well (click here)
There were complications for a very limited number of people who didn’t use Facebook and wanted to enter the contest. This time around I’ve set up the submissions section of the site so you can properly send me your name and street address for entry (click here to visit the submissions area).
The contest will run from this moment until Tuesday January 24th, at 8:00PM EST. At that point, I will randomly draw a name from the list and the contest will close. Also, just as in the previous contest, if you are already a fan of either page, you’re already entered into the contest.”
GET ON IT.
