NEW LIL NORTON BOOK!!!!!

If everyone in America participated in a discussion about the definition and merits of democracy, then that would be a cool thing and would be totally political. In the meantime, pretty much the same thing happened and now it exists in book format. Ninety-four pages of treatise-worthy considerations on the nature and future of democracy, plus a short diatribe on the President of the US of A. Written by no one in particular (that is, collaged from a NYT comment stream), of interest to anyone in general (i.e., generic humanity). Get your copy today and find out what you already believe to be the case. Only $6.41 (sold at cost) at lulu.com (just click the pic).

New Physical Poets

Volume 2 is in the works and should be at the printer this weekend! I hope to have these mofos out for AWP (Lil' Norton's got a booth!). Stop by if you are the .001% of the population that both reads this blog and attends AWP!

PP firebombs Buffalo, NY, again

Buffalo NY literatus Kevin Thurston has showered the activities of Lil' Norton with golden compliments. I happened upon his blog a few days ago and was pleased to note the treasure this pic trouvés. Click the pic for fuckinglies.blogspot.com (or copy/paste the link for those of you surfing the net on an abacus). Hold on tightly, Mr. Thurston. Don't ever let go.

New Physical Poets In The Works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Something marvelous is taking ahold of me.
Matthew Timmons, L.A. writer, curator, and editor, is guest editing Vol. 2. I don't think I could have asked for a better second volume: a group of writers from the opposite corner of the country from the contributors to Vol. 1. Along with Matthew's work, this volume is slated to include work from Harold Abramowitz, Stan Apps, Ara Shirinyan, and others.

It seeks you out. It smokes you out of your cave. It seeks to brand you with its burning desire.
