My chapbook is finally available from Trainwreck Press! Here's what Brent Cunningham, poet, critic, visual artist and operations director of Small Press Distribution, had to say about it:

Some, inevitably, will open this book seeking Wordsworth's "emotion recollected in tranquility." They'll find it as incomprehensible and off-putting as many still find Finnegan's Wake. But for those who take a breath, decipher a few of the more elliptical phrases, and read it with an open mind for new aesthetic possibilities, the "generativity" Moore-Williams mentions in his afterword will be plain as day. By now there's a long tradition in poetry of "pushing the aesthetic of 'the difficult poem' to the extreme," and this work is a valuable, brave and promising addition to it. A goldmine of Zukofskian density, puns, sound play, and homophonic structure, it's also an especially successful attempt to use speech and dialect as a route into meaning's deconstruction, modifying an already-aging aesthetic argument that equates anything speech-based with naive referentiality. But whatever larger claims may or may not be here, at the very least there's the pleasures found in any codebreaking and puzzle-solving (I personally decoded "'n ed'n o' 'n id 'e 'ad" as "an Eden or an Id he had"). More than that, what I find enduring in this work is the way the extremes of the project still don't, actually, wipe out all traces of the anxieties, narratives, and lyrical vulnerabilities of being an "I" in this "gore ward" of a world. Consider these poems your first glimpse of the Romanticism of the future.


The book is available here for a paltry five dollars.: http://www.ditchpoetry.com/trainwreckpress.htm
