about me
The Fixer used his electromagnetic powers to attract me here to see what's what. I'm a nine to five suburban dad who enjoys hanging on the fringes of chicago's conscious community.
You're all beautiful. I was a typesetter before becoming a Quark and Illustrator Jockey in thrall to the evil overlords of marketing and advertizing. At least I don't have to temp.
In April I write poetry. The rest of the year I write letters.

Weird Tales pulp cover collection (blog entry) So, somewhere in a land of Three's there was a discussion about H P Lovecraft. That prompted me to make a slide show of my colection of pulp art and place it on you tube.
Where did the covers come from? Once upon a time I had a wonderful, well ... read more

Joining the site is making me reassess my relationship to the printed word. Pulling titles off the shelf to send out to new homes and amassing a “wish list” online to replace them finds me taking stock of ideas that have been on hold for yea... read more

So, somewhere in a land of Three's there was a discussion about H P Lovecraft. That prompted me to make a slide show of my colection of pulp art and place it on you tube.
Where did the covers come from? Once upon a time I had a wonderful, well paid job with my own window office and lots of downtime. That didn't last. But over a course of several months I did a lot of browsing on Ebay admiring the cover art of old magazines. There was heavy trafficing in Weird Tales magazine which is a pulp... read more

East coast gothic
Medford Massachusetts
Dry egg yolk enamels
the 1957 oblong of gas station china
so heavy that the clatter has been baked in
and escapes only as a clay thud

ants are in the baseboards
the door to the cellar is off its hinge
There is so much dog in the carpet
that the smell is odorless under it's own weight
unless you dare to add water

The hardwood from the armoire to the bookshelves
is etched with the echo of heels retracing
the path of misplaced cash that slipped
beneath t... read more

Whale Spout (Remnants of Nat'l poetry month)
Whale Spout
Among the reasons my wife won’t speak to me
you'd have to include allowing our daughter
To chant “Om nama shivaya”
loud enough to bemuse all of Office Depot
Her 5-year-old spirit
echoing off the laptops and padded mailers
as "Oh the mushy bayah”
proof that sanskrit is a living tongue

Why would the missus bedgrudge
the half hour before kindergarden
when my girl plays tabla in the basement
until daddy's half embalmed by the drone of Om
turning prayer beads until... read more
