JA TYLER. THE GOOD WORD ON ACHILLES CHAPBOOK SERIES

from JA Tyler:

(ML Press is putting together a fine line-up of chapbooks, including work from Brandi Wells, Shane Jones, Blake Butler, Jimmy Chen, Ken Baumann, Nick Antosca):


drew kalbach's THE ZEN OF CHAINSAWS & ENORMOUS CLIPPERS is an engrossing read. his poetry works its way into a reader, pinching at places that seem normal & good until they are exposed to his bend of langauge, making them surreal & raw & broken.

barry graham's NOT A SPECK OF LIGHT IS SHOWING is a bulldozer of aggressive & charged stories, showcasing the sexual bent & savvy of graham's enticing & ticklish phrasing.

TINDERBOX LAWN. CAROL GUESS. ROSE METAL PRESS

from ROSE METAL PRESS:

"Set on the margins of Seattle, beneath bridges and on the banks of waterways, in strip clubs and flooded farmland, the prose poems in Tinderbox Lawn illuminate the intersection of domesticity and bohemia, orthodoxy and passion. Each untitled block of prose constitutes a novel-in-miniature, with shadow characters and shards of plot. The intensity of Carol Guess’s poems builds through lyrical language and recurring images, capturing the moment when “the small mad heart at the center of things stalls mid-tick.”

small EXCERPT:

Every morning you walk past the house with broken windows and break another window. The shiny Valentine inside scrubs dishes at the sink. Think hard enough about broken glass and it becomes rain in a tumbleweed town, drowning out the neighbors’ quarrels. You’ve had to invent this life to make it work. Try speaking but no sound comes out, try tenderness but it twists in an instant. Think blood on the mattress. Try running, and not for the scenery.

DOGZPLOT in THE SMALL PRESS REVIEWS

Huge thanks to Marc Schuster from THE SMALL PRESS REVIEWS for posting a review of the DOGZPLOT FLASH FICTION anthology 2008. The review mentions stories by Joseph Graham, Barry Graham, Dawn Corrigan, and Scott Garson.

Small excerpt from the REVIEW:

"Each piece in the collection is under 200 words, and each, in the immortal words of Spider-Man, really packs a wallop. Among the standouts are two by Florida author Dawn Corrigan titled "Nemesis" and "The Pin," which deal with pathological uncles and unrequited love respectively. Another highlight is Scott Garson's "Accounts Payable," which asks the immortal question, "Why does the ham and cheese croissant cost less than the ham and cheese sandwich?" Rounding out the issue is Graham's "All Together," which arguably presents the definitive ultra-short version of Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment."

Thanks again to Marc Schuster.

Apparently the only way a politician is fined a million dollars and does jail time for lying is if he's a black man from Detroit. Fuck off Wayne County.

THE LAST GAME WE PLAYED. JO NEACE KRAUSE

I just finished the first two stories in this collection. Jo Neace Krause will eat your face off. Read it. Love it. Embrace it.

from DZANC:

Jo Neace Krause's incredible ear for spoken language is on full display in this collection of stories spanning many different narrators and lives, some accented with Appalachia, all conscious of the omnipresent weight of history. Krause's writing is as instinctive as breathing, whether she is relating criss-crossed family sagas or snapshots of sun-drenched afternoons. Slipping on other lives and voices as easily as clothing, The Last Game We Played is an absorbing collection from a gifted new author.

"A dark and complicated work of literature."
—The Massachusetts Review

"A little classic."
—Rachel Calahan

JA TYLER

Congrats to JA TYLER on achieving 100 publications in 2008. Not only is his work great enough to merit 100 acceptances, I am amazed by the fact that he has written 100 seperate pieces in a year (10 months, this is October. Will he reach 125 acceptances by the end of 08). That type of discipline / dedication to writing is inspiring. It is an honor to have published his fiction here at DOGZPLOT. Again congrats.
