Well, Gay Expectations II is over and done with. I got a couple of stealth recordings, but they need a lot of polishing before I’d feel comfortable putting them up here. Besides, I’m now heavily into production for The Bind of Isaac, which goes up on Thursday. I’ll still have my recorder with me, of course, so I’ll try to find some nuggets worth sharing with OOS fans.
In other news, be sure to preorder Mike Young’s We Are All Good If They Try Hard Enough, or pick it up when it comes out – I got a sneak peek at it and it’s brilliant. His poetry is incredibly fun to read aloud, and it’s a great blend of abstract and absurd, in that it makes you think about language and imagery without being pretentious or wooden.
Anyway, let’s get to some poetry. Here’s Peter Cooley reading at Tulane. Enjoy!

Hey! We seem to have a phonophiliac relationship. I started the Onthology/audio website a few months ago and am archiving readings by poets from and beyond Baltimore. Please check it out at

Also, I’d like to hear more about what you’re up to, your aesthetics and your goals for this project. My colleague, Douglas Mowbray and I are developing a project called Baltimore Center for the Emerging Text, which is a centralized resource center and performance space (and small press library, one of the biggest in Maryland) in Downtown Towson. We’re both publishers, too – he of twentythreebooks and me of Furniture Press Books.
Check us out, and please call me.
