Crying Frodo #5 is available now!
“Wheel of Fortune + Imagined Identities” looks at 24 game show contestants and conjures pasts and futures for their potential selves and their winnings. Crying Frodo #5 celebrates the complex and/or straightforward (and/or some combination of both) lives of regular people asked to extend their experience plus intellect to surpass their previous identities.
LOL?

Describe Your Writing Routine
Posted: April 18, 2013 Filed under: advice, anxiety, art-making, writing Leave a comment »Identity Theory asked Dan Chaon about his writing routine. I think his answer is the best answer I’ve seen regarding this ever-present question:
Describe your writing routine.
Gaze out window. Smoke cigarette. Write sentence. Walk the dog. Write more sentences. Smoke more. Gaze more. Write more sentences. Feel depressed. Take a nap. Write more sentences. Drink coffee. Surf the internet. Write more sentences. Feel especially depressed. Write more sentences. Consider suicide. Drink a few beers. Write more sentences. Take another nap. Gaze out window.

Road Blindness
Posted: April 12, 2013 Filed under: ambiguous, poems, travel, writing Leave a comment »Somewhere along I-95
I finally come to understand
this thing called road blindness,
having centered myself in deep thinking
about what some character would or wouldn’t do,
some mystery of foggy logistics,
for a indeterminate sum of seconds,
coming out of it to
sudden swaths of cadmium forsythia
along the shoulder,
followed immediately by
a road sign for Glastonbury,
which is the hometown
of this one impossible love of mine,
you know the type,
who keeps appearing in my Facebook feed,
and Google Reader, and Email Inbox,
because people send me this shit not even thinking.
