Interview with Cosmic Book News 2010 | 05.17
My Saint James partner Jesse Young and I did an interview with the comic book site Cosmic Book News – where we discussed the comic industry, our series, the nature of digital publishing and more – which you can check out here.
Enjoy.
Poem: Lvoe 2010 | 05.14
like a hundred cracks of thunder
or my brain seizing up, going all floppy on me
little whirlwind dreamscapes brought to life by a single touch
a single look
the look she knows how to throw
perfected since adolescence, perfected since her first crush on that boy, Kevin
her first kiss
but she can take that same look and change it, make it hard and mean
a woman scorned
her look like daggers coming fast and hard
a train barreling toward you
and you wonder what you did
what did I do?
but when its good its good and her body
you have it memorized
you know how it tastes
smells
feels against yours
and even on the worst of days when things are bad
between you two and the world
even on those days it’s pretty damn good and you wonder
how you could have ever lived without her
and during those moments the world is a very beautiful place
and you two, the last survivors of love, make it your own
Poem: Jodie 2010 | 05.13
In her eyes I see the world.
Her laugh like a sunrise her smile says it all the world is hers and she has it
in her hands.
Too beautiful for words,
she sings the song that has no name.
For she is the one they sang of long ago:
She Who Knows How to Make Right Use
of the Heart.
New buttons! So shiny! 2010 | 05.11
I wanted to make it as easy as possible for people to purchase my chap books and/or comics. So…introducing the new buttons!
The top button links to my Lulu storefront, which lists anything and everything I’ve printed through the site, and the second button, for now at least, links directly to the Saint James Ex Occultus page – there, at the bottom, you can purchase the different one-shots in a variety of formats (look for the “Buy Now” button). As other Saint James comics become available, I’ll post about them, so fear not.
Yay!
Poem: Kate 2010 | 05.10
(This first appeared on Year Zero Writers)
It’s that laugh of hers that gets me
(gets me every time)
like an electric shock it wakes me,
pounds me prattling into cohesion,
and with one look in her eyes
(those greenmarbled sunsets)
I know.
She sees the patterns no one else does,
the beauty of it all,
her words floating up and around
over me
over us
always beaming bright, that smile that laugh of hers
(those greenmarbled sunsets).
