“We can build a brain space more soothing to our anxieties, but we ourselves become spectral in the process. “

We at Slope Editions are thrilled to introduce FAMOUS TIMES by Thea Brown.  Rarely has the solipsism of our times been so beautifully articulated and, more importantly, so full of wonder. This is a collection that’s as full of Mulder and Scully as it is vital, incendiary poetics. Preorder yours and remember: 

Always look up for the arrows.

My information is worthless and personal and I'd like to keep it that way 

so I can be careless with it, as though worth and care are ever aligned right.

Thea Brown, “Emerald the Heart Chakra”

[tracydimond]

Sometimes it’s too loud next door, the reverb, Standalone. The walls begin to shed their designs. In the past they flew into my mouth. They clambered, Stuck. Paisley. A border of roses. A Joan Mitchell print. Mostly I dream of a bloody nose, though last Night it was bats. Iron-y ribbons, red and silver Empty silos, steel sky pin droplets, the blood Running into my mouth. I found this shiny In the garbage, I said. A ruby and gold. And then a car Comes with a thump. There’s no tone in my nothing, Though last night it was bats, locked in the safe house. I’ve got a quarter that’ll get you halfway to Gravity Hill, You told me. I’ll need it. I was locked in there with them.

All that pulse and so little payout.

One darkness leads to many

like it and that’s what’s boring.
