There Were One & It Was Two (nh7
"It's a funny, informative, and freakishly entertaining exploration of the concept of the double--as otherness, as twins, as pairings, as doppelgängers, and so on--in literature, in psychology, in epistemology, in nature, in mythology, and in the serendipitous collisions of all of the above."
Bret McCabe - City Paper 6/07
« Garrett Caples - Surrealism's Bad Rap
"TURNING ON THE TONGUE, INDEED! Garrett Caples replaces all burnt fuses with SURREALISM'S BAD RAP! One of the best CDs by a poet I've ever heard, no shit! I'm listening to it over and over, and want 'Light Sleeper' played at my funeral, or wedding, whichever comes first! By the time you get to 'Puna Baedekker' you won't want to ever jump out a window again, all ye window jumpers, but push the speakers against the screen and blare THIS tuning fork hidden in the Great Porridge American Poem. Live on its incredible, bright fields for a bit, try to tell me I'm wrong!"
--with Godzilla LOVE,
CAConrad, author of DEVIANT PROPULSION (Soft Skull, 2006)
"A ‘spoken word’ album for people who may not generally like ‘spoken word’ albums."

« Rod Smith - Fear the Sky
"...at just under 71 minutes a full length recording with production values that would make an indie
band weep with envy. Smith is the perfect poet for such a project, as he has the most active ear of
any writer of his generation & hes a great if decidedly deadpan reader of his own work. Listening
to this recording feels like it takes 20 minutes & one is totally engrossed the entire time, as Smith
demonstrates a range of affect far wider than Ive heard from him before..."
Ron Silliman
the Rod Smith CD really shows how much this medium aurally illuminates the voice,
renders a space for the voice, scopes out a multidimensional use of the voice (voice,
in every aspect of the term, itself an essential poetic medium)... developing
phenomenologically another layer of poetic experience, beyond poetry on the page and
poetry during readings, to poetry through the mic intimately, the voice raised to its
own power... cool stuff...

Ha, ha, the blanket got too tight again and the painters didn't paint the whole wall for me. Something about a retainer. They left me the brush and the painters cap. There's a small hole in the wall for me to see into the past, and above the sheetrock, up on top where it is dusty, I can make out a hazy shade of the future. Big deal. It looked much more alluring and potentially useful being hawked by that English chap on television at three in the morning, having drained a bottle of '82 Haut-Brion. I would immediately notify immigration, but I have my own foreign laundry to deal with. I gave Pepe, the pool boy, the day off & I will dredge up the muck myself today. It's awfully quiet around here, but the stillness is lending gravity to an otherwise insignificant predicament.
After last night's lecture, someone commented to me that I must be an army brat because I had such fantastic teeth. Such teeth, he said, could only be the result of good breeding and access to the finest dental care. I explained that though I descend from a long line of Bulgarian nobility, when I was a boy people were still having infected teeth removed by a donkey tied to a rope. Happenstance, I explained to him, is the main reason behind Mustafio's distinguished countenance.
