    I write poetry zines and ebooks and am currently working on updating them all into Smashwords. If you are not familiar with a ZINE it is a book produced from a photo copier or a printer. I have just come back from my first zinefest in NYC held at Barnard College. I also write fiction and my first book is called SLANTBOARD which takes place in the future where people can ride on boards that float a little off the ground nor do they go much over 10 miles and hour so they have a similar culture to long-distance bike riding. Thanks for reading!

      the signals sent from the stationary science

      future all world floating AIRSHIPS were of JAM

      they were a kind of call to prayer the kind

      of MINDLESS fanaticism uttered in slurred

      drunkenness of rote memory squeezed into

      utterances most unpleasing to be heard and

      smelled bad spoken by disrespectful breath

      the tower of disturbance turned to jelly or

      jam really since it contained CHUNKS of

      gray matter were shrinking human brains

      thoughts were FORBIDDEN and prayer was

      STAMPED into dogma not truly heartfelt but

      demanded what heart demands obedience by

      rote what heart bleeds for straps to backs

      what heart and what toast calls for JAM
