God has lost so much blood now he can’t speak he had to go to giving

hand signals like a deaf and dumb man

the pieces of stars passing my ship

so slowly I can reach out and touch them if I could

I lay in slumber charged with death

!!! 2016 is here and so are pre-orders for our first 2016 title: DISTRESS TOLERANCE by Kamden Hilliard !!!

Distress Tolerance is the chapbook for running into your own shadow. It is 7.25x8.5. It is poems that glitch and solidus through form and heart, “funnysad/charming,” human-to-bursting, humming with the embodiment and canopy of love and fear and race and money, sparkling with unpolished nails and small fluorescent woodpeckers.

Natalie Eilbert says:

“In Distress Tolerance’s world building, Hilliard infests language itself with a self-aware brutality, and his forms are slanted, stunned, and ripped by a geography wherein ‘to mark is to destroy is to court danger.’

Even the destroyed body can flirt with how we’ve ruined one another. But in the wreckage, something—a Yonkers star, a Virginia Slim, a small salmon, a pigeonhole—is glimmering. And it’s remarkable, remarkable.”

Pre-order now to save $2 off the cover price! More pre-order specials coming this week!

For example, The Poor and Other Invertebrates, published in 1974, made the following claims about the nation's impoverished: "[They] reproduce prolifically in 3 months rather than the conventional 9 months of properly evolved humans". "They intentionally contract diseases by manufacturing their own bacteria at home, which they smear onto their cheap linoleum floors  [...] then roll around in it". "They burgle respectable citizen's homes, then play Bingo".
