I've had an idea for another poetry book, which is funny because most people are pretty lukewarm on poetry (or my poetry anyway); but this project has really gotten me excited. I only hope I can do the idea justice. I'm not going to say particularly what it is yet, other than to say that it is not just a collection of random poems. I'll also say that it is going to be of a tone, I hope. I posted an example on mastodon and bluesky a bit ago. I'll put it here too to give a sense of what I mean.


he hungers
underground
the old thing

down that gash
if you look
you'll see him

be careful
not to slip
or it's done
