New Poem in Unarmed

buckdowns — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 18:13:36 +0000

If you live in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, you may be lucky enough to find a copy of Unarmed at a local book or record store, since about half each issue’s print run is distributed locally by Michael Mann, the editor publisher.

Each issue includes a chapbook by a poet — in the latest issue, it’s rob mclennan’s red giant. The issue itself (#64) Robert Head, Jessie Freeman, Kinberly Lyons, Kyle Schlesinger, and dozens more, including my poem, “ex mas”.

Write to Michael (unarmedjournal at comcast dot net) to find out more.

Justin got in on the ground floor of the Pontiac Fever project, way back when it was just starting to grow. It’s great to be able to thank him, as the project starts to come to its fruition. Thanks, Justin!
