My next chapbook is called The Pale Pieties of the Emergency Room Attention Span. It has yet to be written but the cover is done.

Huge thanks to holy person and poet Mick Parsons, whose own work is the work as it should be done, for their words toward 'unkillable angel goes to the cinema'. Am thankful, stunned, unworded.
