“Why so much fear of tears? Because the masks we use are made of salt. A stinging red salt which makes us beautiful and majestic but devours our skin.” – Luisa Valenzuela

It was good times getting to sip coffee in the radio booth with Lynne Robinson, as we created our “on-air cafe” and chatted about theater, movies, working with youth, the writing life, Patti Smith, and the scheduled release of two new novels: The Last Furies and No One Dreams in Color.
Time, ordered to frieze,
and meld its constituents–
No eyewitnesses.

Two snaps from a series of Polaroid experiments related to my novel, The Last Furies, forthcoming from Lost Telegram Press.
I have always depended
on the kindness of solitude
to acquaint me favorably
with the company of words.
We are dreamwalkers
punctuated by reveries
and long listless spells
of want.
Conjugal
in our misgiven symmetries,
our lives readily become us
by frayed skeins of intimacy
and sensual haunt.
I am happy to announce that I have signed on with Lost Telegram Press, a Canadian publisher, for the publication of my novel, The Last Furies.
It is encouraging to have found a supportive home for what is an experimental, multi-form novel, and I was especially drawn to the “old school” vision and ethos of Lost Telegram, in that every book is hand-made (using recycled materials), with an eye toward creating singular works of art. Or, as reflected in their objective: publishing as a means to a means, and not as a means to an end…with the ideals of archiving as one of the press’s foremost goals.
