Hey, hey!
I'm gonna follow you
Oh, baby, fly away, yeah, to Malibu
Oceans of angels
Oceans of stars
Down by the sea, is where you
Drown your scars

Oh-oh
I can't be near you
The light just radiates
I can't be near you
The light just radiates

(from Hole's Malibu)

a big thanks to Purdey Lord Kreiden for her wonderful blurb of my new book, The Birth of Venus

"Receptive devotion hurls me into this work. . .relentless slumbering hands slapping the very same face they've once in the air inbetween sleeps tenderly sketched. . ."

Molly yelled out I LOVE YOU RAUAN while I was reading from Sky Rat (@SporkPress) at the Hugo House in Seattle nearly 10 years ago. Ahhhhh, I was so young! A spring chicken.

I have a backlog of unread books about a mile long, but if I add one more book to it this year it's definitely going to be this one. (Also check out @allthemessiahs.)

another quote from the introduction to my new book:

"an ordinary street dog poisoned and dying an endlessly horrible boring death. I can feel the caterpillar spinning acid all around its body. And then emerging in swirls of color like razor blades"
