new poem

BAP Quarterly has published a poem in their Space issue. am working on covers for the BOOK OF FREAKS. Fun, but hard. Trying to go with something that catches the book (which is all over the fucking place) and that catches the eye at the same time.

I'm sick of my students, of teaching where I teach. this has been the worst semester I've ever had, worst students. in two section (one composition, one american lit) more than half the students in each class are flat-out going to fail, nothing they can do about it. in one, it's because they decided not to show up. in the other it's because they won't read anything.

in a couple weeks solar anus is hosting Zach Schomburg. Looking forward to that, and to the break between spring semester and the summer. I'm not teaching at all next fall, and I'm really looking forward to that. I need a break, or a new school. Both I think. I need to go hunting.
