Resolutions...

Yeah, so…for years, on three of my drunk poem animations, I inexplicably built them with a low-res version of the animation. Cue Chris Farley vid smacking and berating himself! So I’ve finally managed to fix that. I think.

These 3 early drunk poems are now rebuilt with the high-res files, as intended. The glorious readings by Chris Oxley, Sean Lynch, and Willy Vlautin…should also be pretty darn easy to enjoy!

Willy Vlautin's Little Joe [a Short Film]

Somehow this gem slipped past me, so I wanted to make sure that didn’t happen to you! A great short story, set to some sweeping Western landscapes — it’s classic Willy, and something all short story writers should be doing!

Hopefully I’ll get my act together and eventually do something like this too. Until then, grab a beer and 23 minutes or so to enjoy it.

Poetry and Punk Podcast

Martin Appleby, sporting a dapper, green mohawk, has taken a cache of poems from our A DEEP & GORGEOUS THIRST - UNABRIDGED AUDIO for his POETRY & PUNK PODCAST. There’s Michael D. Blum talking about white wine and Fascism, and Walevska Perez-Herrera and Pink Floyd, and there’s Rebecca Schumejda talking about waking in a red car. Freddie De La Cruz teaches us about “drunk Christmas,” and we find Joseph Ridgwell narrating for some poor sap at the gas station in his underwear. William Boyle speaks to getting screwed in Hollywood, and Willy Vlautin talks of the naked guy in his buddy’s pool.

For those who don’t now, Martin is the driving force behind Paper and Ink Zine, and is a tireless supporter of small press goodness, all while still being a terrific writer in his own right. So if you’re looking for a taste of what the audio book will sound like, check out the podcast (and all the other stuff Martin gets up to)!
