Pasatiempo...

For you arts and culture heads out there, you’ll probably know how big of a deal this feels like to me. How many amazing things have appeared in Pasatiempo over the years? Is it even possible to count? I don’t know what my most illustrious article or bit of coverage has ever been — but this certainly must be right up there among the contenders!

I’m pleased as all get-out to be part of the most recent issue, and I’m honored that some more folks might learn about Psalms From The Badlands. As a one-horse nobody here in small-press-ville, every thing out of the ordinary that happens feels like a miracle. So my heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped make it happen!

In other news — you might notice some changes around the HQ. I’ve been busy tinkering. Click below for a brand new way to enjoy the video broadsides for PSALMS…so if you have a few minutes, why not spend them with some high-desert moments of Zen?

SOMETHING RANDOM AND BEAUTIFUL

SOMETHING RANDOM AND BEAUTIFUL

At long last we’ve got a QUICK SEARCH feature to CLICK THROUGH some of the website’s highlights.

The website has really grown over the years, and that can make navigating a chore! The braintrust here at the HQ thought we should do something about that!

It’s hopefully helpful for those new to these parts, curious to see what we’ve been getting up to! It’s also intended to help old friends just looking to quickly discover things they might’ve missed! For you deep seekers, there are still secret little corners to discover — but this should make it easy to get a sense of some of the fun stuff through the years.

A link to it also lives in the footer below, for quick and easy access.

NM Book Award Honorees @ Drift Exchange

NM Book Award Honorees @ Drift Exchange

The New Mexico Book Awards and Drift Exchange cordially invite you to join them and a grip of recent winners and finalists for an event celebrating some of the best local books!

For over 2 decades, the competition has, in the words of Paul Rhetts, sought “to uncover and honor the best in New Mexico books.” and this shindig aims to do just that! Peruse the honorees’ work and what you’ll instantly discover is the breadth of talents and voices across scores of genres right in our own backyard! And it’s yet another in Drift Exchange’s passionate curation and deep commitment to create a “platform for artists, musicians, and cultural workers in New Mexico” in their gorgeous upstairs space overlooking Central Avenue — the Mother Road herself, Route 66.

DrunkSkull will be there with Psalms From The Badlands (our finalist in poetry last year), the DrunkSkull Sidewalk Cinema, and running a little giveaway for attendees — so come on by, check out the scene, and get yourself entered for a chance to win some books and whatnot!
