About Me

Rock!
*** I will once again have a FRESH new poem at ELIMAE.COM on the 15/16th of this month (i believe i'm the resident bar-poet). ***
---THIS COMPLETES MY FIRST EVER SWEEP OF FIVE STRAIGHT MONTHS BEING PUBLISHED SOMEWHERE. cheers, friends. :-) ---
Also I'm in the new rad Farmhouse and somehow made the cover.
So go check out my ode to all you sports fans... "An Open Letter From the Nut" :-)
AAAnd you should go download the FREE first issue of LITERARY FEVER! It contains a poem of mine you've probably never seen, and rocks in many artistic and visual ways guaranteed to blow your mind.
** ".. and when the day is done
what you recieve is the sum
of what you took out
from what you put in." **
- 311, hexum
