Matt,

You haven't had anyone give you a myspace comment in like 4 months. I don't know that to do about this, but I'll get back to you tomorrow. I'm sleepy.

So how the hell have you been? Just stopping in to wish you a very Happy Birthday. Also I forgot to congratulate you on your winning story when I left you the voice mail. You like email and not talking on the phone. I'm with you on that one but with my typing skills it takes me to long to say everything I want to say. Tell Jess I said "HI"

Love and Miss you both, Craig

Just wanted to let you (and your comment-reading friends) know that GUD Issue 2 is now available for purchase! And if you create a GUD Magazine acccount, you'll get a full story or poem from the issue free, just to show you what we're made of!

Issue 2 celebrates Heaven, Earth, and Space in-between; it is touched by religion, grounded in technology and comfortable with the occult.

Including a language-stretching piece triggered by the Talmud from the legendary Hugh Fox, poems by haiku heavy-hitter Jim Kacian, the surprisingly touching “By Zombies; Eaten” from Christopher William Buecheler, and an alien perspective on human spirituality by Tina Connolly in the remarkable “The Salivary Reflex”

— all part of a drool-worthy two-hundred page selection of over twenty authors and artists.

Hey, I have a book installation that I'm putting together for March 24th and I'd love it if you'd send me some poetry or prose for it! I think your work would be a good fit!!! (details are at http://www.myspace.com/pandoraink) The installation will be exhibited at Cranbrook's Forum Gallery and I'm also going to do a limited run of really nice books to go along with it... all before march... so if you're interested the sooner you get back to me, the better! (also, it can be work that has been previously published, too!)

Hi, Matt. How've you been? Directing your attention to “Potato I Have” at ELIMAE. It’s a derived text that tracks Joyce’s use of the potato - a talisman for Bloom - in Ulysses.
