Toward Pandemic E-Chapbook Release

Today I have released (via Lone-Byte Press) the first version of a new e-chapbook entitled Toward Pandemic! The book directly confronts the swine flu virus via the US media’s sultry, absurdist jumble that spread like a wildfire throughout the country a couple weeks back from today. I was anticipating the media’s coverage to be just as continuous and alarmingly blase through today and into beyond, but a sensationalist crest was reached and toppled much faster than usual. Nonetheless, some good verse came out of this strictly-found poem sequence.

I hope you enjoy this version and if you don’t, let me know why. Also, you can look for the up and coming “deluxe media version,” called Pandemicist,  down the road. It will hopefully feature audio and video components, along with the original text.
