A Special HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY Man in the Gutter Interview - Memes

Happy Mother’s Day!

As the launch of the A DEEP & GORGEOUS THIRST - UNABRIDGED AUDIO approaches, we will be peppering the airwaves with a few bits, including a short series of Man in the Gutter Interviews with people who were either part of or present for some of the drunk poems when they happened and have graciously lent their vocal talents to the project. Today, of course, we had to interview my mom about a poem we were both present for…if only a bit!

And while we’re still a ways off from our May 24th release, the pre-sale is going strong.

We hope you’ll enjoy this tiny behind-the-scenes taste until this gorgeous beast actually lands! As an added bonus to today’s post, here’s the poem she’s talking about.

The CHEAPJACK STADIUM TOUR...

Well, May is going to be busy!

With the pandemic upon us, the PRINTER and the BINDER can’t even work in the same space, but bit by bit and piece by piece it’s all coming together! And while there are other pieces in different stages of ready TBD later, here’s is a list of the fun stuff we’ve already got planned leading up to the official A DEEP & GORGEOUS THIRST - UNABRIDGED AUDIO release:

One of the best things about the small press is the community we can find there — often times a wide-reaching and vast array of talents and ideas. Our friends over at Alternating Current Press have worked diligently over the years to build up and support writers of all stripes, giving home and voice to an entire ambitious stable of talent. So when they come knocking, I always do my level-best to deliver. Above are two covers: the first, Jennifer Roche’s 20 is a sparkling and prescient collection of erasure poems using Jules Verne’s 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea as source material. I was lucky enough to do the interior art — pen & ink + watercolor quadtychs of seafaring imagery that, like the book itself, leaves behind only hints of the larger original. The second cover, as you’ll see, was one I got to blurb. Larry Beckett’s Wyatt Earp is an astonishing accomplishment that was exhaustive in its historical truth and honed down to an exquisite, razor-sharp vision as rich and full-blooded as any film. Both are worth a look, and if you’re headed to AWP, can be found at the Alternating Current table or any events they’ll be part of.

Then there’s this:

It’s a sneak-peek at the 4 forthcoming animations that will accompany the A DEEP & GORGEOUS THIRST - UNABRIDGED AUDIO release.
