basically, it's ninety-nine rewrites of the first line of the Eraserheads song "Ang Huling El Bimbo".


it's a great book (but I'm biased)! but no one wants to publish it, being in general a poetry collection (when really, it's a manual/survey on avant gardist lit (ah, the conceit!)), and pop lit publishers not feeling very confident about such things.


in the meantime, I'm working on coming up with enough money to have it published myself. we'll see what happens with that little scheme.

A Bonus Post


for five days I wrote eighteen beautiful in-laws. a beautiful in-law is a work written using only words with letters from a given source word or sentence. so, if your source word is, say, "english", you'll get the vignettes "In gin, Engels hisses, lies." or "Lee's engine singes." or "Genie is single!".

for this set, my source words came from the fifteen main intersections along Edsa, with bookend vignettes from the word "Edsa", plus the title which is an In-Law of the word "highway", which is what Edsa is. I tried avoiding using any of the source words in the vignettes, but lacking imagination, I just had to in one of them. I plan to do a chapbook of these things, with art, with a July 2008 release, with a synopsis saying:

"Seventeen vignettes on incestual sodomy, atheist suicide, bestiality, cannibalism, gay ennui, alcoholism, scatology, schizophrenia, domestic meltdown, sadomasochism, exhibitionist onanism, urovoric golden shower, mean-spirited menage a trois, underage rape, smelly shortcomings, gluttony, and necrophilia, written as one-sentence anagrams of main intersections in Edsa."

seventeen vignettes inside, with the title making eighteen. and here they are.

Wahahahaha! I Gag A Gay Hag!
