To hold you over until Season 7.
Holy shit, this is hilarious.Â
I love this Game of Thrones parody. Itâs like Tim & Eric meets Game of Thrones on public access.Â

Forthcoming Halloween Release!
in the office hours of the polar vortex
By Dustin Luke Nelson
A poetry collection like no other, Nelson describes the work as âdealing with the concept of cold, the distance it causes literally and figuratively, and the temporal nature of heat, as embodied in the meteorological phenomenon of the polar vortex.â Visual elements â including copy-and-paste text, masking tape, Polaroids, haunting images with plastic wrap, typewritten pages, diagrams, musical staff paper, handwritten notes, redacted text, and found text â create a sense of mystery and intrigue while making you feel like youâre snooping through the drawers of someoneâs desk. The way the words sit on the page is art.
Available HERE at a pre-release discount until October 31st. See more from the book here.

H_NGM_N #17 Reading at Berl's Brooklyn Poetry Shop w/ Ashleigh Lambert, Amy Elizabeth Bishop, Sarah Jean Grimm, Nina Puro, and Chelsea Werner-Jatzke.
Also a good place to place a Louis Jenkins poem.
As good a place as any to drop a Louis Jenkins poem.Â
To be a black man in the United States of America is to be in a constant state of war and I am tired, Iâm just so tired of the war. White people want me to be dangerous, scary or sexy, they never want to know who the real Etheridge is and I bet white people would like me if they could just relax and see past their fantasies of me.
Etheridge Knight, Philadelphia, 1988, quoted by CAConrad at the Poetry Foundationâs Harriet Blog

CAConrad talks about why Kenneth Goldsmith isnât the outlaw heâs claiming to be and why itâs little more than fleeing the issues at hand when Goldsmith claims that âthe left is the new right.â
As someone interested in (only âinterested inâ because Iâm not sure how to describe it... âmoved byâ at times... âbored byâ at others, in equal measure, on a spectrum of some sort) conceptual art and conceptual poetry, itâs unfortunate that itâs so tightly associated with some incredibly myopic projects lately. (Myopic, kindly. Unkindly, part of the problem of privilege in America and representative of why discussions of race and privilege donât go far enough.)Â
Unfortunate, since Iâd like more interesting work in this vein be foregrounded without having to be associated with projects like this. But thatâs a small thing. These conversations are important and CAConradâs piece is a nice mix of many voices, highlighting some activist poets, some outlaw poets, and very simply laying bare the bullshit of Goldsmithâs project.
Hear Louis Jenkins read âInsectsâ from Nice Fish.Â
This is my favorite poem in the collection. Northern Community Radio does a series of audio poems and they posted a recording of Jenkins reading the poem live, though the beeping out of âdog shitâ in the poemâs final moments takes away from the poems final impact a bit.Â
Weâve launched the first episode of The Locals Show podcast. Itâs a ridiculous radio comedy that takes place in a fictional town called Dinges, NY and we had Matt Pond as a special guest on the first episode. He talks about his campaign to be the Alderman of the second ward of Dinges. Take a listen above.Â
Weâll be doing another live show on March 27 at BSP Kingston with Simi Stone as our guest.Â
My performance of APPLAUSE at the walkerartcenter's Open Field in June has officially been verified by guinnesswordlrecord1 (Guinness World Records) as the world record for longest applause.
Watch a time lapse video of the full performance above.
Thanks to everyone who came out to join in and the team of people who helped make it possible in the first place.Â

The Newer York does some great things for experimental literature and they're in the final 24 hours of their Kickstarter campaign for a new issue.
They're really worth supporting. Maybe give 'em a dollar and subscribe to their newsletter if you don't know them but are interested in finding out more because it's the kind of thing you like and hopefully like to support. Help them get a little momentum going to hit their goal.
See their project here.
On December 21, 2013, I became a father for the first time. However, I feel like I should qualify what Iâm going to say before I even say it, lest I alienate ~90 percent of my audience before this essay hits sixty words. In any case, here goes: I actually never really wanted to be a father.
