Just uploaded another spoken word video, filmed and edited by those clever buggers at Manufacturing Content.
I expect that anyone who's tried job-hunting recently will be able to relate to this one.
If you like this poem, the book it appears in, Over Glassy Horizons, is free to download on Kindle until Tuesday. UK customers can get it here, US customers can...

I saw 'Barfly' with Mickey Rourke and Faye Dunaway, back before both of their faces melted, @cardinalfire. Wasn't impressed, to be honest. The Bukowski documentary, 'Born Into This', is worth watching. It's on YouTube. Really enjoyed 'Howl'. Franco's meant to be working on a movie adaptation of Bukowski's 'Ham on Rye', which should be interesting.
cardinalfire:
Barfly that was it. I only have vague memories of it, of him getting fired and just moving on. I do remember it kind of lacked the 'transcendent quality' of his poems though. In his poems he makes going to the races something more than that, and getting fired and doing other jobs like almost something to look forward to or like part of life necessary for his work, hard to explain. I felt the movie at times was a bit boring and didn't have that same special quality.
So, until Tuesday, my poetry collection, Over Glassy Horizons will be free to download on Kindle.
Please do grab yourself a copy. All I'd ask in return is a quick review on Amazon. It doesn't have to be long or wordy, just a few lines summing up what you thought about it. Bad reviews are as useful as good reviews, so if you feel the

Really enjoyed the first one I purchased. You certainly have a way with words. I'll make a note to grab this today.

I'm not afraid of you. ;) I'm a fan of your intellect and wit. And I enjoyed your poems on youtube.
alpharius:
@nicorez You're not supposed to say that, the more people think you're a sanctioned constable of the word police, the more people we'll have reading books instead of that blight on Humanity, reality tv
A few much clearer images.
As you can see, the finish is of exceptionally high quality, with the right shade and paper stock for the interior pages.
Anyone contemplating commissioning a print run, I'd definitely recommend epubli.co.uk.

Looks great Nicorez!
nazarethjones:
Congrats on the new book! Looks good.
Although Anhedonia has been available as a Kindle book for nearly a year, along with two of my poetry collections, this is the first time I've had a book of my own in tangible, pick-it-up-and-turn-the-pages, oldschool, paper format.
It feels very strange seeing my words in a 'proper' book like this. It's a beautiful, sleek, glossy volume, and seems far too classy to have my

Thanks very much for taking the time to read it, @thephonypayne. Delighted to hear you enjoyed it. If you get a sec, an Amazon review would be legendary. It's still really weird seeing it in this gorgeous physical form!
nicorez:
It'll be available through my publisher's website, www.bstarkittypress.com, @dgmac, and it will have an ISBN number, so all bookstores should be able to order it in. I imagine we'll start local with the signings; there's a small, indie store nearby that carries another B☆Star title, and the owner is up for a reading/signing day.

How generous! Now I just have to remember that I have this in my kindle shelf.
canislupis:
XD yes I'm very tight with money
This awesome comedy-horror (by my No. 1 lit-crush C Z Hazard) is on a free promotion for just five days, so get it while you can. It's a clever, metatextual satire about the blood-sucking, parasitic nature of the global multimedia machine, with tons of fun pop culture references and some of the best comedy deaths in fiction.
Please download this book and support a talented,...

Out on Kindle in the very near future...

I'm waiting with baited breath and anticipation. Looking forward to it.

For sure something I'll put on my reading list.
When did news parody
stop being funny?
Was it somewhere between
Alan Jackson’s 9/11 cash-in
and Donald Trump’s hair?
Was it BoJo stranded on a zipline over London,
or Cameron’s alleged porcine relations
(bizarrely black-mirroring fiction)?
When did the news
start doing Chris Morris’ job for him?
When did they start

Compared to some choices, I may actually vote for someone dressed as a penguin.

That is awesome.
Not a new piece, but some comments made in Silliness by @sosbanfach about a certain celebrity wankstain inspired me to post it.
I watched you die, you know?
The day the Mirror cracked
and all your perverse reflections came screaming out
of its crazing type-set surface,
dripping fake tears and real blood
all over the headlines,
I watched them bury you
– bury you and...

@sosbanfach Very well, but I demand a giant rubber spatula to whack the heads of those who would dare to disregard public wellness!!

I don't spend a lot of time in front of the tube (unless MMA and Netflix count..), but I was just last night wondering where he'd gone off to.. so he did indeed disappear for a bit?
