YES. The Illuminated Mess is now available for pre-order. The mess drops May 10th, 2010. Trust me, this is a mess you want in your house. This is the kind of mess you love. Read Joseph's interview with Jason Behrends of Orange Alert about the mess.

Tremendous thanks to Joseph for asking me to contribute to the mess. I can't wait to get the mess all over me. Get some mess all over you too. Messyesmessyesmessyes!

Also today, Mr. Shome Dasgupta, author of the forthcoming OWC chapbook i am here And You Are Gone, has been working on a rad little project involving some rad contributors. I am one of them and yes, I include myself in the "radness." I hope that's okay.

Thanks to Shome for the invite. I love getting invited to things. I also love my new pants.

Sweet. Cummings is awesome. One of my favorite quotes of his:

"when man determined to destroy
himself he picked the was
of shall and finding only why
smashed it into because"

Congrats on your story, this mess looks pretty...
