giant link post

noah cicero, a kind and generous man, has posted a video of himself reading a poem

ellen kennedy has four poems on melancholia's tremulous dreadlocks

i have four poems there also

i'm going to have a few copies of you are a little bit happier than i am soon; if you need one email me

matthew rohrer blurbed it
I'm in a hurry now but I just wanted you to know I read the whole MS straight through (not planning to at the time) and loved it.

I'll get back to you with more soon.

[...]

I accidentally read Tao Lin's table of contents as a poem; it's a hilarious poem and it hooked me right away. This is also how his poems work --they are aggressively mundane. But behind that aggressive pose those poems are real and free. And really funny. There's a confidence in them that not only undercuts their surface pose, but makes that pose something meaningful.
matthew rohrer and joshua beckman will have new poems in jobless bitch magazine soon

after that the magazine will probably just be a place where i will copy and paste all the poetry i like that is on the internet or in books so that i can go there and read it alone

submissions of single poems are being accepted for jobless bitch magazine

email submissions to 666poetry666 [AT] gmail.com

the password to that account is poetry666

the account will be a discussion forum and anyone can go there to reject someone; eventually everyone will be rejected; also, if you submit something you are required to reject someone

joblessbitch@gmail.com, joblessbitchpoetry@gmail.com, joblessbitchpoetry666@gmail.com, and poetrybyjoblessbitches@gmail.com were all taken for some reason

ass hi books has about six books written by ellen kennedy and i that are finished or almost finished and will be available for free in the future

did you already delete this account?

what's the new password?

I stole the account and changed all the password information to demonstrate how someone with asshole intentions can ruin the free spread of information. I am now the editor of Jobless Bitch magazine.

This was all done in a friendly way to demonstrate the effect of assholes on society.

I really like Cheever. I don't think I have any books by him. I have about a million of his works collected in various anthologies though.

i don't like mipoesias anymore. i read your poems again and i looked at your name at the top and felt like it was yelling at me.

Blogger Tao Lin said...

steven fran sounds like it would use all its time outside of work to become a martial arts master but while at work would concentrate only on work

i would hire him too

Blogger Tao Lin said...

mipoesias should say 'tao lin' repeatedly while you are reading the poem
